The inaugural meeting of the Austin, TX chapter of The Sprocket Society, with guests from the Texas Archive of the Moving Image (TAMI).

A program of shorts about journeys, real and imagined.

Films shown included legendary later work by the wizard of the silent screen Georges Méliès; a rare restoration of a Western made by his brother Gaston Méliès at their Star Film Ranch in San Antonio, Texas; a 1930s adventure documentary on African Pygmies that inspired Werner Herzog to become a filmmaker; a chapter of the original Flash Gordon serial; and a cosmically psychedelic experimental work dealing with “the end of mankind on Earth, prophesying man’s liberation from his earthly bounds to roam the Universe at will.”
