As the Austin Chronicle listing reads: "It's the height of irony for this film to be screening in the very same theatre whose shutdown it documents." Austin filmmaker Kyle Henry made the 1999 documentary University, Inc. about the Texas Union Film Program, which was shut down more than 10 years ago in a manner very similar to the way we're seeing the Cactus Cafe and Union Informal Classes being discontinued now. For more details, check out this interview with Henry from Kimberley Jones at the Austin Chronicle.

The screening is open to the public and admission is free. Interestingly enough, there is no listing for it on the Texas Union event calendar.
