Cinema for the people!

Hyperreal Film Club is a time and a place for good folks to see good movies. Since 2016, we’ve popped up in dozens of Austin’s most iconic locations to bring you our fave entries in the world of cult, genre, arthouse, and independent cinema — always paired with one or more short films showcasing the thriving local scene here in ATX.

In October of 2019, we kicked off a film writing site as a place for new and established writers to tabulate, adulate, and (very occasionally) eviscerate the movies. It quickly grew into one of our core projects, with dozens of columnists, interviewers, and correspondents publishing hundreds of pieces with the support and direction of a phenomenal editorial team.

The ratchet strap that binds it all together is community. Whether in person at our weekly+ events or online all the time on our new and growing Discord server, friendship and support is tightly coiled throughout the DNA of everything we do and dream. Collaborating with local venues, amplifying local artists, and providing radically affordable events for everybody is what we’re all about.

This account exists to make sure that all of the short films screened at Hyperreal events and cinema venues across Austin are properly entered into TMDB.
