The best of Austin cinema —
formats, programming, and events — every Monday.

A weekly cheat sheet for seeing films at their best. Every edition is ranked by format — 70mm down to 4K HDR — so you know your options before you buy a ticket. Austin has no 70mm IMAX, so we cover the nearest screens in Dallas and San Antonio, plus the best of Austin's cinemas and programming. One email, every Monday.

Free. Every Monday. No spam, ever.

You're in. See you Monday.

What's covered

Premium formats and great programming, all in one place.

True IMAX

The Bob Bullock in Austin is the only full-size IMAX screen in the city — but it's digital-only. True IMAX means a full-size screen with a 70mm film projector, the highest quality format a film can be shown in. There are only two of those in Texas, and neither is in Austin.

  • Bob Bullock IMAX — Austin, TXFull-size screen, digital laser only — no 70mm film
  • Cinemark Dallas — Dallas, TX
  • AMC Rivercenter 9 — San Antonio, TX
Austin — Premium & Arthouse
  • Alamo Drafthouse — All Austin Locations 4K HDR / Dolby Atmos screens only — everything else is filtered out
  • Violet Crown Cinema Premium independent, 4K laser
Austin — Cinephile Programming
  • Paramount Theatre Summer Classic Film Series, special engagements
  • Austin Film Society Cinema Curated repertory, filmmaker events, member screenings
  • Hyperreal Film Club Rotating events, cult and rare programming

We filter aggressively to keep the digest focused on the best available formats. If you want to see everything that didn't make the cut — standard screenings, museum docs, filtered-out Alamo shows — every edition links to a full filtered screenings page so nothing is ever truly hidden.
