The week-long Fantastic Fest started on Thursday night and it's difficult for those of us involved to remember that other film events and screenings are occurring all around Austin this week. But there are plenty of choices for Austinites who aren't interested in science-fiction or horror films ... especially if you like movies with a lot of music:

• Indie/arthouse movies opening in Austin this week include the documentary The War Tapes at the Dobie, Time to Leave (pictured above) at the Dobie in collaboration with Austin Film Society, and Confetti at the Arbor.
• The Project Greenlight horror film Feast (which played Fantastic Fest last year) will screen at midnight tonight and Saturday at Alamo Village and the Dobie.

• Free outdoor movies: Saturday Night Fever will rock (or disco, I guess) Republic Square Park on Saturday night. The movie starts at sunset, but get there early for a disco-dancing contest beforehand.
• Alamo Downtown is showing the documentary A/K/A Tommy Chong on Sunday-Tuesday and Thursday nights.
• Free classic movies: Union Cinematheque is back this year, retitled as Austin Cinematheque but still devoted to screening first-rate film prints of classic movies. The semester-long series starts on Monday night with a brand new print of Jean Cocteau's film Orpheus at the Texas Union Theatre.
• The Servant is this week's offering in the Austin Film Society series "Surviving the Blacklist: Joseph Losey in Europe." The 1963 film was scripted by Harold Pinter.
• The Paramount is bringing several music-themed movies to Austin next week: a 70mm print of The Doors on Wednesday and next Sunday, and a double-feature of DiG! and This is Spinal Tap on Thursday and next Sunday.
• Open Door Preschool is holding their annual fundraiser next Friday night at Alamo on South Lamar. The event includes a screening of the 1971 animated film The Point (featuring songs by Harry Nilsson) as well as an Italian meal.
