SXSW Film Review: Walk With Me

With “unprecedented access” (their term) to celebrity mindfulness master Thich Nhat Hanh and his Plum Village retreat in rural France, Max Pugh and Marc J. Francis turned three years of footage into a ruminative poem as lyrically shot and edited as its subject’s own writing.

SXSW Panel: You Are Not Anonymous: The Myth of Online Privacy

Several friends have been telling me it’s a good idea to get hooked up with a VPN, a virtual private network, so as to keep my personal data secret and unsold online, unlike what typically happens in the wide-open web. And, you know, those friends certainly meant well. But they were wrong.

SXSW Film Review: Bill Nye: Science Guy

One more dismal judgment of our benighted times is that a genial TV popularizer of the scientific method has in recent years become also an embattled defender of basic human knowledge. Bill Nye defies our public ignorance.

"It Began Without Warning" at SXSW

"It Began Without Warning" may be short, but its five minute runtime is enough to catch the audience unawares. That's exactly the plan, said Jessica Curtright. "We like to start where you think you're in one genre, and then suddenly you're not."

SXSW Film Review: A Critically Endangered Species

Maya Dardel (Lena Olin) is about to die. She has chosen to die, in fact. Her living corpse has rotted away long enough, and the vultures are circling. But, she invited them in, and she will choose the most capable one to pick her bones clean - or in more succinct terms, she is searching for an inheritor.

SXSW Film Review: Pornocracy

SXSW Film Review: Signature Move

Lesbian romance films are often a joke even among lesbians. They’re so frequently over-the-top, poorly written, and about as basic as avocado toast, that relatability and true-to-life representation gets lost.
