Come celebrate 48 YEARS of the Paramount Summer Classic Film Series 🍿 🎥 We’ve got tried-and-true classics, NEW classics, special anniversaries, a PRIDE screening of PARIS IS BURNING that leads into a drag ball on the Paramount stage with the legendary House of Lepore the next day, plus a new partnership with our film friends at over at Hyperreal Film Club, who have added a 6-film mini-series that is expertly curated and super fun!

MORE, MORE, MORE: Our first lineup reveal covers May to June, so bookmark this page for two more announces from Film Programmer Stephen Jannise that will take you all the way to September (yes, Hitchcock Week is coming). We’re happy to share that films are back at the State Theatre next door as well, giving you even more chances to escape the Texas heat for buttery popcorn and can’t-miss movies.

Thank you to our passionate Film Fan Club members and our returning series partner, CapMetro, for making summers of film possible ❤️

A MESSAGE FROM HYPERREAL FILM CLUB

Hyperreal Film Club is part of the story of Austin film. Since 2016, we’ve produced hundreds of pop-up screenings in every location imaginable. Our CINEMA FOR THE PEOPLE ethos is tethered around radical inclusivity, radical community, and radically fantastic movies.

We’re excited to partner with the Paramount Theatre to add six films to the series, ranging from forgotten and underseen cinema to kinetic cult classics — all paired with locally made short films, all guaranteed to surprise and delight audiences.
