Screenings
1:00 - 2:30 When we Were Free
A cooking drag queen, a late-night love guru, and a Chicano activist fighting the KKK — just three of the characters who found their voice in the chaos of 1980’s public access television. Told entirely through rediscovered and restored public access footage, When We Were Live captures the stories of the outsiders who transformed an Austin community TV station into a world-famous stage for self-expression.
Stay after the screening for a Q&A with the filmmaker.
