Free Film Lovers, Rejoice
The Nueva Onda Movie Nights (NOMN) is a fan- and mister-cooled monthly free movie series held rain-or-shine, 8 pm, on the covered patio at Nueva Onda Mexican restaurant. Our volunteers show award-winning indie shorts, docs, and features from around the world… but of course we love to host Austin filmmakers. Sponsor NOMN, volunteer, or submit films!
We’re closed during the cold months, which means that the movie nights generally go from April to October. Gotta love Austin! 300 days of sunshine a year!
Our UNRENTABLE Movies
Chris Walters champions our “Unrentable” movies – cult classics, rare gems, and foreign films that never made it to U.S. distribution. As the name implies, these are films that you won’t find at Blockbuster. We can show them legally because they can’t be bought in the U.S. Thanks to Chris’ collection – and his region-free DVD player – we can enjoy these little-known treasures together. Feel free to contact us if you have suggestions or feedback for Chris or NOMN in general.
Movie Series Location
Where? At Nueva Onda, 2218 College, just northwest of Oltorf and S. Congress. We usually have plenty of seating and parking. In a pinch, the restaurant can accommodate about 100 people so unless there’s a huge event you’ll get a seat even if you arrive late… and since it’s a patio, arriving late is not a problem. If the parking lot fills up, there’s plenty of free parking on College.
On full-menu nights, the kitchen opens at 6:30p. Otherwise, come by as early as 7. Show at 8. Programs subject to change.
Cold Beer?
Heck yeah. Nueva Onda does not have a beer license, so you can’t buy it at the restaurant, but NOMN is BYOB. Please drink responsibly.
Are You an Email Nomad?
If you’re one of those people who changes email addresses like changing socks, you should probably friend up with Nueva Onda on Facebook.
