Covering SXSW Film Festival
There is a great summary of the SXSW Film Festival Lineup on the ever reliable indieWIRE. Some of the films I'm particularly excited to see include:
- THE KING starring Gael Garcia Bernal and William Hurt
- Garrison Keillor's A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION
- director Mark Rydell's film EVEN MONEY about three unconnected people destroyed by gambling addiction
- and here's a weird one, CRUEL AND UNUSUAL a documentary about the lives of male-to-female transsexual women in men's prisons in the US
The Sundance 2006 films that are screening at SXSW include: KINKY BOOTS, AWESOME: I F*CKIN' SHOT THAT!, LA TRAGEDIA DE MACARIO, TV JUNKIE, AMERICAN HARDCORE, THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED, DON'T COME KNOCKING, FORGIVING THE FRANKLINS, FRIENDS WITH MONEY, NEIL YOUNG: HEART OF GOLD, OLD JOY, SMALL TOWN GAY BAR, THANK YOU FOR SMOKING, and WIDE AWAKE.
