So, the SXSW lineup has been revealed and that also means marketing machines will be going into full effect as the films get set to unspool in Austin. And so with that in mind, we have first looks at a small handful of films that will be playing and we're sure there will be more down the road.

'Ceremony,' 'Incendies,' 'Fubar: Balls To The Wall,' 'In A Better World,' 'Tabloid,' 'Pom Wonderful Presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold,' 'How To Die In Oregon' & More Also Among HighlightsOK, so while Sundance is over and the next big festival on the horizon is Cannes in May, another increasingly important fest on the circuit has become SXSW. A looser, more bbq- and beer-fueled event than their snootier colleagues, SXSW has become an important destination particularly for genre films looking to make a strong first impression. The early announcements of films that will be playing -- "Paul," "Source Code," "The Innkeepers," "The Beaver" -- certainly bear that out and with the full lineup now unveiled (sans the Midnighters or SXFantastic feature sections which will be coming next week along with the short film listings) there is plenty genre fare, and much more, for those headed to Austin.

Conan O'Brien Documentary, 'Conan O'Brien Can't Stop' Added As WellAlright, it's 2011, people. Time to get in with the new. The Sundance Film Festival is just right around the corner, but not far off in March is the SXSW Film Festival, which continues to get better and better each year. While the opening night film has already been announced -- Duncan Jones' "Source Code" -- new editions to the line-up have been made including Jodie Foster's "The Beaver," starring persona non grata Mel Gibson, Greg Mottola's alien roadtrip comedy "Paul," starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop," a documentary that follows the behind-the-scenes of the talk show host's summer tour, among others.
