SXSW Film Review: Dominguinhos
Brazilian accordion virtuoso Dominguinhos grew up in the Pernambucan sertão, a land of cacti, bandits on horseback, and periodic catastrophic droughts. We in Texas know that such unforgiving landscapes can give rise to transcendent folk music styles. The same, apparently, is true in Brazil.

SXSW Film Review: Planetary
To say that Guy Reid's film takes the long view of our world and humankind's relationship to it is to put it mildly. Planetary begins by taking us into space and gives us ample time to view Earth from a distance that erases borders and encourages us to see the planet as a single, living organism.

SXSW Film Review: Made in Japan
Modern country music isn’t exactly a better version of its progenitors. Instead, Hot 100 radio is plagued by overprocessed dribble and unlistenable regurgitations. Tomi Fujiyama is a relic of that old, classic country.
