All kinds of folks drop in on Austin for the SXSW Film Festival
From March 7 - 15 the 15th annual Film Festival segment of SXSW will screen 114 feature films for movie lovers, filmmakers, journalists and assorted others attending the Austin, TX event.
That's 114 movies screened over the course of just nine days, folks, or an average of 12+ films/day. No fewer than 65 of these film screenings will be world premieres. Obviously, attendees will have to get selective.
With that in mind, below find a quick listing of the "high-profile" films included in a just-received press release; for the complete schedule, direct your browser here.
Films scheduled include: Kimberly Peirce's Stop-Loss, Nicholas Stoller's Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Martin Scorsese's Shine A Light, Michael Almereyda's New Orleans Mon Amour, Joe Swanberg & Greta Gerwig's Nights and Weekends, Jay & Mark Duplass' Baghead, Liz Mermin's Shot In Bombay, Nanette Burstein's American Teen, Aaron Rose & Joshua Leonard's Beautiful Losers, Sylvia Stevens' Chevolution, Morgan Spurlock's Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?, and the festival's Closing Night Film, Stephen Walker's documentary Young@Heart.
The Young@Heart Chorus
Previously announced was the Opening Night Film 21, along with Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, Dreams With Sharp Teeth, Then She Found Me, and Run, Fat Boy, Run.

Akira Sato Jazz trumpeter Akira Sato, by way of Tokyo, Japan and Vancouver, Canada, is an SMU faculty member and director of The Meadow Jazz Orchestra at SMU. He is also an adjunct faculty member at UNT where he teaches jazz arranging. Sato is also heading into the studio soon with other area musicians and playing at the Scat Jazz Lounge tonight. With all that he's up to, the least you could do is order a Scotch on the rocks and chill to some tunes. (Photo by flickr user arteunporro. More info
