Cinéwilde Presents "My Own Private Idaho" In 35mm

Because you’ve asked for it, CinéWilde is bringing “My Own Private Idaho” to The Texas Theatre in glorious 35mm! Helmed by one of cinema’s most intriguing queer directors, Gus Van Sant, “My Own Private Idaho” adapts Shakespeare’s Henry IV Parts I and II through the lens of William S. Burroughs’s (another queer artist) unique “cut up” storytelling. Keanu Reeves & River Phoenix star as sex workers in this dreamy journey of searching for meaning in a lonely world. This sleeper hit worked it’s way from the street corner to our hearts; so join us as we remember one of Phoenix's last films and one of Van Sant’s earliest. Immediately after the film we'll be hosting our first ever Queer Cinema Contest! Brings your friends, make a team, play for drinks and prizes! 8 PM - Doors Open 9 PM - Film 11 PM - Queer Cinema Trivia Contest!
