Austin Chronicle. SXSW Film.

Austin Chronicle: SXSW Film 08 Last night, at the end of the odyssey that brought me from Berlin to Austin, I stepped off the plane to find a stack of fresh Austin Chronicles, and there on the cover, as you can see, is the lovely and talented Greta Gerwig. "Love it or hate it, mumblecore is here to stay, as evidenced by this year's Festival program book," writes Kimberley Jones, introducing the Chronicle's SXSW Film package. Spencer Parsons conducts the interview.

A quick run-through of the rest, before I head off to catch Goliath (site); first, Josh Rosenblatt talks with its makers, David and Nathan Zellner. Also: an overview of the 24 Beats a Second program of music docs.

Anne S Lewis has a quick chat with Celia Maysles about Wild Blue Yonder (site).

Shawn Badgley talks with Bob Byington about Registered Sex Offender.

Previews:

Belinda Acosta explains the Greenlight Awards.

While everyone is trying to get beyond cobbling together every filmmaker between 10 and 40 as part of a 'movement' with a really annoying name, Spencer is desperately trying to perpetuate it, since it's his only hope of riding some sort of real or imagined bandwagon. It will only result in more backlash and more filmmakers being pigeonholed and unfairly maligned.
