AFF Monthly Series: Two-bit crook Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey Jr.) stumbles into an audition for a mystery film while on the run from the cops. Winning the part, he lands in Hollywood, where he’s flung into a tangled, murderous conspiracy with his childhood sweetheart, Harmony Lane (Michelle Monaghan), and hard-boiled private eye Perry van Shrike (Val Kilmer). This deadpan, affectionate parody of film noir tropes is named for film critic Pauline Kael’s influential 1968 collection of film reviews and essays Join long-time friend of Austin Film Festival, Shane Black, for a special screening of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer. The film will be followed by a Q&A.
