The casual, celebratory South by Southwest festival has come to a close. My colleague Tim Basham and I have been posting reactions to films throughout the fest, and to help wrap this burrito I'm going to recap the films I saw, starting with the documentaries and moving to narrative features in the next post. Favorites at the top. 45365: This lovely, well-organized slice of small town life is as strong an aural montage as it is a visual one. Walking silently among the residents of Sidney, Ohio, population 20,211, filmmaker Bill Ross offers us recordings of church congregations singing, radio... read more
Found in: Blogs, FestivusSXSW Film 2009: Don't Use the M-Word
For good reasons — like the fact that all of Joe Swanberg's features have played here — the annual South by Southwest film festival in Austin, Texas, has a reputation as the adopted home of mumblecore. The dreaded M-word is used more and more negatively these days, but any term that labels films as diverse as Frownland, LOL, and Mutual Appreciation is a coinage looking for a definition.

This year, Andrew Bujalski (Funny Ha Ha,... read more

The thing about movies is that they keep making more of them. And the thing about festivals is that there's always another one around the corner. So before we kick off Paste's adventures through South by Southwest in Austin, I'd be remiss if I didn't let you know how the True/False festival in Columbia turned out. True/False annually screens nonfiction films in the center of the country, and the event has such a convivial atmosphere that it lends an agreeable aura to the movies on display, even the ones that might not generate much of a glow on... read more

Some people look askance at the prospect of a very good film festival popping up in Columbia, Missouri, but many of them are the same people who freeze their toes every January trudging between movies in Park City, Utah. Columbia makes perfect sense compared to that. The True/False Film Festival takes place in the middle of the country, just a short drive west from St. Louis, in what is arguably Missouri's hippest city (don't hurt me, Kansas City). The films screen within easy walking distance of one another in Columbia's lovely downtown, a strip of pre-sprawl America that sits... read more
