This Fall, the Downtown Austin Alliance Foundation is bringing an exciting new outdoor movie experience to Republic Square. We are teaming up with the creators of Shaolin Jazz to present the first-ever CAN I KICK IT? Downtown Austin movie series; iconic films scored LIVE with a new soundtrack!
CAN I KICK IT? is a film experience catered to the lovers of cult classic action films and Kung-Fu flicks, the music they inspired and everything else in between. At each event films are scored live (scene-by-scene) with a blend of Hip Hop, Soul, Rock and more mixed by DJ 2-Tone Jones. To date over 150 different film titles have been screened at CIKI? events featured across the map including at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, SXSW, Smithsonian National Gallery of Art, New York Asian Film Festival, Oakland Museum of California, PAX East Video Game Convention and more.
The series line-up is as follows:
* Black Panther (PG-13) | Sept 27, Ft. Special Guest, local DJ Kay Cali
* Ghostbusters (PG) | Oct 25
* The Last Dragon (PG-13) | Nov 22
The events are free for all ages and open to the public. Each night the festivities will kick off at 7pm with an opening DJ set, followed by the film shortly after 8pm. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets. Food trucks and other amenities will be on-site.
