Animal researcher, best-selling author and autism-education advocate Temple Grandin will appear next week at an Austin screening of the new HBO movie about her life.
Filmed around Austin, “Temple Grandin” stars Claire Danes as Grandin, whose books include “Thinking in Pictures” and “Animals in Translation.” It will screen Feb. 4 at Exhibit Hall 5 of the Austin Convention Center before debuting on HBO on Feb. 6.
Besides Grandin, Mick Jackson, the film’s director; Jenni Sherwood, vice president of HBO Films; and Austinites involved in the production will attend the event.
A pre-screening reception starts at 6, with the red-carpet arrivals beginning around 6:30. The movie screens at 7, and Grandin will speak afterward.
The screening is free, but an RSVP is required. For information on how to be admitted to the event, e-mail mike.hopper@hbo.com.
