We have lost track of the days Morgan has been at SXSW… it’s all a blur… but you can catch up on it all here. Rain is more or less a certainty at SXSW. In my experience, it has come at the start of the event, but this year, these last few days of the […]
SXSW Film: Danny Says, We Like It Like That, and Hangman
Welcome to our sixth day of SXSW coverage (catch up on it all here). SXSW has felt off this year, like a party that has gone on too long and now everyone is awkwardly trying to exit quietly before anyone notices. The film portion of SXSW has been consistent if not as strong as some prior […]
SXSW Film: 2015 Jury Award Winners
Morgan Davis has been covering a ton of the films at SXSW 2015 (catch up on it all here), but we would be remiss if we didn’t cover SXSW Film’s 2015 Jury Award Winners Films at SXSW 2015 receiving Jury Awards were selected from the Documentary Feature Competition and Narrative Feature categories (Audience Awards will […]
SXSW Film: All Things Must Pass, A Wonderful Cloud, and Turbo Kid
Welcome to our fifth day of SXSW coverage (catch up on it all here). There was pretty much no rhyme or reason to my schedule on day five of SXSW. I planned on catching All Things Must Pass, a documentary by Colin Hanks on the rise and fall of Tower Records, at the start of the […]
SXSW Film: The Visit, They Will Have to Kill Us First, and Hot Sugar’s Cold World

I saw three documentaries that were wildly different in concept and style but nonetheless shared a bad habit of digression and self-indulgence, albeit to different degrees. The Visit, a documentary […]
SXSW Film: Deep Web, The Frontier, and The Corpse of Anna Fritz
Welcome to our third day of SXSW coverage (catch up on it all here). Though I got a bit of a late start on day three of SXSW, I still managed to work in three films, all of which were kind of horrifying and unsettling for vastly different reasons. Alex Winter’s Deep Web raised the […]
SXSW Film: Fresno and Lost River
Welcome to our second day of SXSW coverage (catch up on it all here). Not too surprisingly, my super ambitious plan to help run a music showcase and hop over to a screening or three on day two of SXSW did not pan out. That’s okay, though, because in my experience festivals are more enjoyable […]
SXSW Film: 7 Days in Hell and The Invitation
SXSW Film may not loom as large in the public imagination as Sundance or TIFF, but it’s a film festival that grows each year and requires more traveling than its more condensed kin, which is why I always try to start small and pace myself at SXSW. I continued that tradition this year as I […]
