My SXSW

A mostly-daily account of my experiences of SXSW. Not quite an insider's view, and not purely from a consumer standpoint, either. Also, some silly show biz stories.

The films I like/know for SXSW 2008

I have seen none of the narrative features in our lineup because I screened only documentaries this year.

Dreams With Sharp Teeth — about Harlan Ellison, hear it's good

Living With the Tudors — takes place in an Elizabethan re-enactment village

Second Skin — about people who become lost in online gaming

Frontrunners — about the race for head smartypants at Stuyvesant High School

Full Battle Rattle — did you know the US has a "practice" Iraqi village in the Mojave?

'Bama Girl — a black co-ed runs for homecoming queen at the University of Alabama

Flying On One Engine — an impoverished, disabled doctor performs cleft palate surgeries on children in India

The Ostrich Testimonies — arrogant hot air balloonists ended the livelihood of an very interesting and original man, D.C. Cogburn

Intimidad — a story about the redemptive power of love. It is SO good.

Tulia, Texas — the undercover drug agent is not what he seemed in this rural Texas town

Dancing Alfonso — a totally touching story about a man in the golden years of life. It is SO good.
