EX MACHINA
Saturday, November 4 • 7:00 PM and 7:05 PM showtimes
Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar


In 2015, Alex Garland made his feature directorial debut with the sci-fi gut punch - EX MACHINA. Featuring a trio of standout performances by Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson and a truly note-perfect Alicia Vikander as Ava, the film tells the story of a programmer named Caleb Smith (Gleeson) who has won an office competition to spend a week at the private estate of his tech company’s reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). While there, he is tasked with evaluating the human qualities and capabilities - or, general believability - of Ava, a stunning and monumental achievement in A.I. whose intelligence and motives may extend further than either men realize. EX MACHINA is a gorgeous and thought-provoking instant sci-fi classic and it’s one of our favorite films of the last few years. Period. We’re thrilled to celebrate the title with a special MondoCon screening featuring a stunning new poster by Rory Kurtz.

LABYRINTH
Saturday, November 4 • 9:40 PM and 9:45 PM showtimes
Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar


There are some films that are simply timeless. In 1986, Jim Henson, George Lucas and David Bowie teamed up for LABYRINTH, a fantastical and wonderfully bizarre film about a 15-year old girl named Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) who wishes for her baby brother Toby to be taken away and whose wish is granted by Jareth, the Goblin King (David Bowie). Sarah is then transported to the Goblin King’s otherworldly kingdom and given 13 hours to solve the labyrinthand find Toby lest he be turned into a goblin forever! Along the way, Sarah befriends a group of unforgettable Henson creatures including Hoggle (or is it Hogwart?), Ludo, Sir Didymus and his trusty steed, Ambrosius, and the best worm you’ll ever see in any film ever. We hope that all you babes with the power join us for a MondoCon screening of Jim Henson’s 1986 cult classic including a new poster by Ise Ananphada.


RATATOUILLE
Sunday, November 5 • 7:00 PM and 7:05 PM showtimes
Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar


In celebration of our premiere vinyl release of Michael Giacchino's score to Disney•Pixar's RATATOUILLE, MondoCon attendees are invited to a free screening of the 2007 film. RATATOUILLE received overwhelming popular and critical acclaim, and even garnered Giacchino his first Academy Award® nomination for Best Original Score. This screening will be hosted by local composer, soundtrack expert and writer Brian Satterwhite.

NOTE: This screening ticket does not include any merchandise. The RATATOUILLE soundtrack will be available for purchase at the Record Shop at MondoCon (Austin American-Statesman building).

BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM
Sunday, November 5 • 10:00 PM and 10:05 PM showtimes
Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar


Long before Nolan redefined The Dark Knight, BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES set the bar for the Caped Crusader and his vast Rogues Gallery. Despite original plans as a direct-to-video release, BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM was unleashed in theaters on Christmas 1993.

Featuring gorgeous animation/art design and legendary performances by Kevin Conroy as Batman and Mark Hamill as The Joker, PHANTASM tells a personal, nonlinear story of Bruce Wayne and his former love, Andrea Beaumont. While detailing their tragic past, a deadly new foe terrorizing Gotham City known as the Phantasm is killing crime bosses and pinning the blame on Batman. While trying to clear his name and stop the Phantasm, Batman discovers a disturbing link between the sudden emergence of Andrea and the Phantasm… Widely hailed as one of the best Batman films ever made, we’re very excited to present a special MondoCon screening of the film featuring a new poster by BTAS master, Justin Erickson of Phantom City Creative!
