Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

Hyperreal Film Club is screening Even Cowgirls Get the Blues on Wednesday, August 26, as part of a collaboration with Neon Rainbows' Queer Country Cinema. The film is the 1995 comedy about two women who set up a business training cowgirls in the art of riding, and it's rated R, so the screening is for ages 17 and over only.

Hyperreal is one of Austin's microcinemas, the kind of place that keeps a steady rotation of films going rather than just one-off events. This screening is part of a wider program they've got running through the end of summer: She's the He showed on August 22, True Stories comes up on August 27, and The Patron Saint of Roadkill follows on September 7. If you're into the microcinema scene, it's a good run to keep an eye on.

The venue has a bit of a track record with the Austin Chronicle's Best of Austin Awards, too. It took home the 2025 Critics Pick for Most Marvelous Microcinema and the 2017 Critics Pick for Best More-Than-Just-Film Series, so it's a spot that's been recognized for what it does. This particular night is a joint effort with Neon Rainbows' Queer Country Cinema, which gives you an idea of the crowd and the vibe they're bringing to the room.

Doors open at 7 PM, and the film runs from 7:30 PM to 11 PM. Tickets are a sliding scale starting from $10, and you can find the club at 301 Chicon Street in Austin.
