From a press release about SXSW Film Fest which runs March 13-21 in Austin, TX:
Among the major films added to the lineup are: Spike Lee’s “Passing Strange,” Sebastian Gutierrez’s Women in Trouble, Wyatt McDill’s Four Boxes, David Lee Miller’s My Suicide, Tim McCanlie’s The Two Bobs, Cary Fukunaga’s “Sin Nombre,” Brant Sersen’s Splinterheads, Andrew Bujalski’s Beeswax, Kathryn Bigelow’s “Hurt Locker,” Greg Mottola’s “Adventureland,” Joe Swanberg’s Alexander the Last, Duncan Jones’ “Moon,” Nash Edgerton’s The Square, Michael Paul Stephenson’s Best Worst Movie, Lynn Shelton’s “Humpday” and John Inwood’s Exterminators.
They join previously announced films such as opening night film “I Love You, Man” with Paul Rudd and Jason Segel and Centerpiece screening “Observe and Report,” with Seth Rogen, as well as documentaries Objectified, New World Order, “RiP: A Remix Manifesto” and Winnebago Man. These films were selected from 1,511 feature-length film submissions composed of 1,220 U.S. and 291 international feature-length films.
As per usual, there’s a lot of films leftover from Sundance and lots of mumblecore (no comment). We think we might be there for a weekend this time and so will some of our contribs, hopefully for the entire time. We hope “Adventureland” and “Hurt Locker” are playing while we’re (hopefully) there. Other films include:
Artois the Goat, directed by Kyle Bogart, Bomber, directed by Paul Cotter, Breaking Upwards, directed by Daryl Wein, It Was Great, But I Was Ready to Come Home, directed by Kris Swanberg, Made in China, directed by Judi Krant, The Overbrook Brothers, directed by John Bryant, That Evening Sun, directed by Scott Teems and True Adolescents, directed by Craig Johnson. The Documentary Feature Competition includes: 45356, directed by Bill Ross, Garbage Dreams, directed by Mai Iskander, MINE: Taken By Katrina, directed by Geralyn Pezanoski, Severe Clear, directed by Kristian Fraga, Say My Name, directed by Nirit Pered, The Way We Get By, directed by Aron Gaudet and Trimipin: The Sound of Invention, directed by Peter Esmonde.
The final line-up and more films, plus the final film schedule will be released next week.
