Slacker 2011N/C 12+

Richard Linklater’s hilarious debut feature Slacker (1991) caught a generation of over-qualified under-achievers on film and reanimated American independent cinema. His film followed a series of hipsters and oddballs over a twenty-four-hour period, taking in weird obsessions, rituals and even matricide along the way. To mark Slacker’s 20th anniversary, the Austin Film Society, which Linklater founded, invited twenty-four filmmakers to remake a scene each. Some chose to update the script, others tracked down original cast members. What emerges is a love letter to a city whose laidback spirit, despite two decades of change, remains the same.

We are delighted to welcome producer Daniel Metz to introduce this European premiere screening.
