Aurora Picture Show presents The Only Way to Fly:  With A/V Geeks, Saturday, December 3, 7PM. Location: 1940 Air Terminal Museum, 8325 Travelair Street.

Do you remember when you could drive your car on the tarmac, buy your tickets on the plane, or greet your grandmother at the terminal gate? These old 16mm educational and promotional films from the A/V Geeks Film Archive fondly look back to a day when air travel was a novel luxury. And what better place to watch these films than in an old airport terminal, the 1940 Air Terminal Museum at Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport.

A/V Geeks is a collection of over 22,000 films, which travels across the nation showing ephemeral screenings in unique settings. For more than a decade, these geeks have been rescuing old 16mm school films from dumpsters and obscurity and showing them to folks like you.
