The Austin Film Society’s July 2022 programming at the AFS Cinema includes "Film as a Subversive Art," a series of four features (each paired with a short) that is inspired by the republication of Cinema 16 Film Society founder and programmer Amos Vogel's 1974 film history book of the same name. The AFS Cinema also two documentaries about acclaimed writers with Texas ties, Austin-based director Anne Rapp's Horton Foote: The Road to Home and director Aaron Matthews' The War and Peace of Tim O'Brien, with Rapp, Matthews, and the San Marcos-based Pulitzer Prize finalist Tim O'Brien in attendance. Experimental music and art collective Negativland brings its audio-visual show "It's Normal For Some Things to Come to Your Attention" to the AFS Cinema. The AFS Member Shortcase 2022, featuring seven shorts programmed for this year's SXSW Film Festival Community Screening series, receives an encore screening. New releases include Official Competition, Mad, Lost Illusions, Murina, and Fire of Love. Lates include Lost Highway, I Start Counting, 964 Pinocchio, Twentynine Palms, and Vital.
