Anticipating SXSW, 3/5.

Beautiful Losers "In the early 1990's a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery." Jared Moshe launches a series of entries on Beautiful Losers (site).

Jette Kernion emails a few questions about Goliath (site) to the Zellner brothers and notes that Chris Holland has all sorts of advice for those on their way to SXSW.

Just realized I haven't mentioned the Global Doc Days yet, and I really should.

For the Guardian, Mark Drinkwater previews Heavy Load, a doc "about a UK punk band, some of whose members have learning disabilities."

"Kevin Ely and Beau Leland's Rainbow Around the Sun [site], a feature-length musical built around the songs of star Matthew Alvin Brown, is the rare non-doc to find a place on the 24 Beats Per Minute sidebar." Karina Longworth passes the SpoutBlog's questions along to the filmmakers. Also, replying is Negin Farsad, whose documentary, Nerdcore Rising "delves into a subgenre of hip hop that's all about nerdery." Site.

More More Zellners? See Hollywood Bitchslap, where Erik Childress writes up "10 Films To Put On Your Schedule." And then, there are more interviews:
