Quentin Tarantino Film Festival

Every so often Quentin Tarantino comes to Austin with a truckload of his favorite films and puts on a 10-day movie fest.

The theater becomes Tarantino's extended living room, into which he invites devotees to enjoy action, adventure, epic, exploitation and horror films -- not to mention subgenres like "Jaws rip-offs."

The marathon is enlivened by Tarantino's knowledgeable and enthusiastic introductions as well as his off-beat collection of movie trailers.
