Richard Linklater's SLACKER inspired a generation of American filmmakers by exploring the subculture of Austin, Texas in a loose narrative with a tapestry of quirky characters. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of that iconic movie, 24 of Austin's top filmmakers banded together to update SLACKER with their own perspectives on the city. SLACKER 2011 is a stream-of-consciousness chronicle of a day in Austin, presenting the city-dwellers, dragworms, proto-hipsters and locations that give the city its modern identity. The film showcases a transformed town next to things that never change. SLACKER 2011 is an homage to twenty years of independent filmmaking, presenting the city's changing face and showcasing some of its most exciting talent.
"SLACKER 2011 came off as a beautiful work of jazz, with each segment representing an instrumental solo. At times dark and tempestuous (Mingus-Parsons) and at others lyrically rhythmic, playful and exaggerated (Monk-Doubek) or rapid bursts of color (Parker-Coleman) the film showcased individual voices while still holding its center as a single work of art."--Matthew Odam, The Austin American-Statesman
"SLACKER 2011 succeeds - if not, exceeds - in its mission to capture Austin 20 years after Linklater's version; cleverly commenting on how many things have changed, yet so much has stayed the same. We might keep getting older, but Austin continues to stay weird."--Don Simpson, Smells Like Screen Spirit
"A charming, sometime very funny snapshot of contemporary Austin."--Kimberly Jones, The Austin Chronicle
Is the full film available to view anywhere?

I love the idea that in today's climate many scenes in Slacker would play out differently. I bet the "old anarchist" would be an "old gun advocate" and shoot the home invader in today's version instead of gifting the poor soul with a few moment's enlightenment (one of my favorite moments of Slacker). What a world. I miss the innocence of those slacker days.

I’m glad you asked. The Slacker 2011 project is an homage/celebration of Richard Linklater’s 1992 film, Slacker. The project was put together by the Austin Film Society (a film support and exhibition organization co-founded by Linklater 30 years ago) as a fun way to celebrate Austin film’s past and present as well as to act as a fund-raiser to help support their filmmaking grant program. Many Austin-area filmmakers were asked to participate and I had the honor of re-creating the opening scene.
Hey nice work. I enjoyed it. What camera were you guys using?
Thanks for the nice words. We used the Canon 7D Mark II.
Hmmm.that was enough to know I will never watch this. The original is one of my all-time favorite movies but this is just sad. You can never recreate the vibe of the original movie. this is like trying to remake Wild at Heart or blue velvet, it just ain't going to work
@@kirklyles1705 Doing a lower budget version of a low budget movie with old dudes makes no sense. Not a single person in the movie looks fit for the roll.
