AFS Cinema, one of the gems of Austin's film scene, is coming back, and Austin Film Society has launched a special fundraiser to get the projector shining and the screen glowing once more.
The cinema closed at the beginning of the pandemic: in the interim AFS has launched its AFS at Home virtual cinema streaming platform, as well as running drive-in screenings for special events like the Sundance Film Festival. However, with vaccination rates rising and audiences coming back to the theatre, the plan is to reopen the physical two-screen cinema at 6406 N. I-35 later this summer.
