Just three weeks from Friday I'll be arriving at the 2010 South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Conference & Festival. As readers of this blog know, of the many I attend each year, few film festivals can beat SXSW for sheer enjoyment, both in the quality of the program as well as the kickass rock 'n roll setting in which it takes place. This will be my fifth year and I'm looking forward to heading back down to Austin, Texas, sitting in darkened theaters, and partying with true film lovers.

The excitement kicks off March 12 with nine days of the best that today's cutting-edge filmmakers have to offer. This year's lineup consists of 119 full-length features, including 55 world premieres. These were selected from a record 1,572 submissions, including 1,206 from the U.S. and 366 international features.


Earlier I posted the complete list of of feature films, short films, and conference panels. Now I'm pleased to reveal the schedule of film screenings. Time to get out your calendars!

The festival runs from March 12-20, 2009 in Austin, Texas.
