The Secretary and the Reading Rainbow

Last year's inaugural SXSWedu conference was a low-key, mostly in-state affair. Looks like SXSWedu 2012 is swinging for the bleachers, with the announcement that US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan joins child literacy icon LeVar Burton on this year's list of keynote speakers.

Compose Yourself

Late summer arthouse darling Drive drove the kids wild (and sometimes drove them to bizarre acts of derring-do). SXSW Film is catching the Drive wave with its just-announced conference session with Drive's composer, A Conversation with Cliff Martinez. Read More | Comment »

sxswf: Reel Crime, Real Victims

There are some SXSW panels that stick with you. Reel Murder: From Crime Scene to Big Screen wasn't memorable just because of the guests or the topic. It was because the panelists spoke from experience about the horror of violent crime. Read More | Comment »

sxswf: Little Deaths

Here's the pitch: three British directors who have won legions of fans via their previous entries at Fantastic Fest create a gooshy tripartite horror anthology film. Remember Amicus Productions' '72 triple-narrative shocker Tales from the Crypt? That was a long time ago. Little Deaths breeds nightmares. Read More | Comment »

sxswm: Gary Lucas' Bite

For those looking for a quick pick-me-up the Tuesday of SXSW week, Gary Lucas scoring the Spanish language version of Dracula in a church was sort of the antithesis. It was meditation. The acclaimed guitarist has worked with Captain Beefheart, Jeff Buckley, and Lou Reed. He's an academic, familiar with the secret hallways of his instrument. Read More | Comment »
