4 Screens. Operated by Landmark since 1999. Located in the heart of "The Drag," the Dobie Theatre sits just off the University of Texas campus on the second floor of the Dobie Mall. The theatre has been a beloved Austin institution for well over twenty years. Each of its four auditoriums have a unique theme-- Egyptian, French Tudor, Gargoyle Gothic and Space-Age Art Deco. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Dobie became the epicenter for Austin's independent film community when a then unknown Richard Linklater walked in and asked if he could have some experimental 16mm films shown. This collection of film came to be known as Slacker. Later, when Linklater made his follow up film, Dazed and Confused, he insisted, much to the distributor's chagrin, that it be shown exclusively at the Dobie. It went on to play for over a year to sold out shows and posted the film's highest cumulative gross in the country. The Dobie also boasts a record-breaking, one year plus run of the local documentary favorite, Hands on a Hard Body. Interested in how the theatre got its name? Click here.
