SPECIAL EVENT SUMMER DRIVE-IN FILM FESTIVAL: VALLEY GIRL AND APRIL FOOL’S DAY
Anthony Michael Hall may have left the building, but EVO Entertainment is back with more ’80s celebrity goodness. Next in their lineup of celebrity-hosted drive-in events, EVO is bringing ’80s icon Deborah Foreman to host a weekend of double features at two EVO theaters in the San Antonio area. On Friday, August 28 at EVO Schertz and Saturday, August 29 at EVO Kyle, Foreman will be on site for a double screening of two of her fi lms — romantic comedy Valley Girl and cult hit slasher April Fool’s Day. Following each screening will be an interactive Q&A session with Foreman, as well as socially-distanced photo opportunities and autographs for VIP ticket-holders. Foreman is the latest ’80s star to partner with EVO for their Summer Drive-In Film Fest event series after Hall. Known for his roles in John Hughes movies, Hall hosted a fi ve-week soldout series of double-features at EVO’s Schertz and Kyle locations, bringing along guest stars Kelly MGM LeBrock, Sean Astin and Robert Patrick for Q&A sessions with audience members. $25-$35, 8:30 p.m. Friday, August 28, EVO Entertainment Schertz, 18658 I-35, (210) 764- 6986, 8:30 p.m. Saturday, August 29, EVO Entertainment Kyle, 3200 Kyle Crossing, (512) 523-9009, evocinemas.com/ driveinfi lmfest. — Dana Nichols

LIVE MUSIC METALLICA
After several top-billed country artists tested the waters, Metallica has become the fi rst major rock draw to broadcast a live performance to a few hundred drive-in theaters around the country. The veteran metal act will be gigging from a spot near its Northern California stomping grounds. Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster and run $115 per vehicle with up to six people inside. That’s $15 more than Garth Brooks charged for similar drive-in show in June. Of the two San Antonio venues airing the concert, Fiesta Texas in San Antonio has already sold out, but the Stars and Stripes in New Braunfels still had tickets available at press time. Watching a movie screen through a car window seems like a far cry from headbanging to Metallica when the young-and-hungry thrashers played a multi-night stand at SA’s Cameo Theater back in 1985. But, considering that the band requested beer sales end before it took the stage at its last Alamo City gig — a 2017 Alamodome concert — this arrangement may actually allow enterprising fans to sneak in a few cold ones. Not that we’d recommend folks at a metal show break the rules or anything. $115, 8:20 p.m., Stars and Stripes Drive-In, 1178 Kroesche Lane, New Braunfels, (830) 620-7469, ticketmaster.com.

LIVE MUSIC INTOCABLE
Veteran Tejano-Norteño band Intocable is the latest act to bring a drive-in concert to San Antonio. Unlike Metallica, though, the group will actually perform live rather than beaming the show onto outdoor movie screens. Intocable will hold a concert in the Freeman Coliseum parking lot on Sunday, August 30, allowing fans to take in chart-topping tunes such as “No Te Vayas” and “Y Todo Para Que?” from the safety of their vehicles. Tickets run $150 to $400 per car and are available online. The show gets underway at 7 p.m. Intocable, which hails from the town of Zapata, played several other South Texas drive-in concerts before taking time off after fi ve members came down with COVID-19 in July, according to a Laredo Morning Times report. “I assure that our fellow band members of Intocable that got infected with the virus was not due to any of our performances but rather they got infected during their own personal time,” singer Ricky Muñoz said Facebook / Intocable in an Instagram post. $150-$400, 7 p.m., Freeman Coliseum, 3201 E. Houston St., (210) 226-1177, ljconciertos.com/ events/35. — Sanford Nowlin

ART FOTOSEPTIEMBRE USA

FILM FRENCH NEW WAVE FILM FESTIVAL
With its summer Noir Mondays fi lm series coming to a close, Slab Cinema will thematically shift gears for September — and up its events to two fi lms a week. On Thursdays and Fridays throughout the month, Slab Cinema will screen French New Wave fi lms for San Antonio classic movie buff s. The socially distanced outdoor fi lm series will kick off at Ivy Hall on Thursday, September 3 with a double feature of two French Left Bank fi lms, Agnès Varda’s Cléo de 5 à 7 and Chris Marker’s science fi ction feature e La Jetée. Later screenings will include fi lms such as Hiroshima Mon Amour, Le Bonheur, Last Year at Marianbad, 400 Blows, Band of Outsiders, Jules and Jim and Alphaville. While individual tickets are available for $8 for each screening, cinephiles can order discounted tickets in bulk for a reserved table at either the Thursday screenings, Friday screenings or all eight movie nights. However, if mid-20th century experimental French cinema isn’t your jam, you merely need wait for Slab Cinema to shake things up again in late September for a slate of spooky screenings at St. Paul Square in Sunset Station. The Halloween fare will open with the 1959 Roger Corman fl ick A Bucket of Blood on September 30. $8, 8 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays September 3-25, Ivy Hall, 1127 S. St. Mary’s St., slabcinemaarthouse.com.
