Greaser’s Palace is an allegory of dizzyingly zany proportions that must be seen to (maybe?) be understood. Even after several viewings, the plot remains difficult to recount. So here's a simple introduction of the main characters: Seaweedhead Greaser, the town’s corrupt leader, who is having trouble going to the bathroom; his son Lamy, who Greaser shoots dead for purely homophobic reasons; Jesse, a zoot-suited singer-dancer who parachutes down from the sky before resuscitating Lamy with his magic hands and who is headed to Jerusalem to connect with his agent Morris; and a woman, who is left to pick up the pieces after her husband and son are slaughtered on a journey.

The first screening will be introduced by Austin filmmaker Michael Tully.
