Film Press Coverage

"...South by Southwest is a wonderful thing for the music and film industries..." Neil Young on New York Times.com, March 2006

"...the fest is a prime place to launch projects...." Variety.com March 13, 2006

"Over the years, big-name filmmakers have chosen the venue for their premieres ... and it consistently attracts a quirky and absorbing line-up of features, shorts and documentaries." The Washington Post, March 18, 2006

"Overall, the SXSW Festival/Convention offers one of the best opportunities to learn about the future of the digital world, make contacts in the independent film world, meet with the alternative label world, and listen to the best music from around the world." Radio & Records.com March 27, 2006

"SXSW has made a name for itself as a premier showcase of new American films, many by emerging directors." indieWIRE, March 17, 2006

"Film buffs, tech geeks and music lovers around the globe always know that the month of March is a big extravaganza in Austin, Texas. The home of SXSW, Austin is the Mecca for anyone who loves independent film, great weather, even better food..., rock and roll and a damn good time." Film Festival Reporter, Winter 2006

"The festival has gained international acclaim for the quality of its programming with a special focus on emerging talents who bask in being included in the company of the cinematic greats whose work is regularly presented." Film Festival Reporter, Winter 2006

"But even as it has gotten bigger and more oriented to the indie-film industry, SXSW is still admired for its modesty, its integrity and-- this is the only word for it -- its niceness." Salon.com March 12, 2006

"We had a week of great weather in one of America's most pleasant cities, along with a film festival that everyone in the business genuinely enjoys attending." Salon.com March 16, 2006
