Peter (Christopher Denham) and Lorna (Nicole Vicius), a young Silver Lake couple, delve into the underworld of a cult that meets in the San Fernando valley. At the center of the group is an enigmatic young woman named Maggie (Brit Marling) who never leaves her basement chamber. The members follow Maggie blindly-growing her food, obsessively sanitizing the house, giving her their own blood for transfusions. But why?

…This could be a fun one to watch: It’s a documentary on the very film festival it’s airing at.
Outside Industry: The Story of SXSW
OUTSIDE INDUSTRY: THE STORY OF SXSW is a documentary that introduces the four founders of SXSW and chronicles the origin and evolution of the festival, from a small local music festival to its present stature as the biggest music industry event in the world. The documentary is also very much a love letter to Austin, and illustrates how Austin came to be the center of the music universe each March. The world premiere at SXSW 2011 is fitting because this year happens to mark the 25th anniversary of the festival. The film includes rare footage of music performances including Iggy Pop and Johnny Cash, to name a few. OUTSIDE INDUSTRY: THE STORY OF SXSW will premiere in the 24 Beats Per Second Category on the following dates/times:
About Outside Industry: The Story of SXSW
http://www.outsideindustrymovie.com
In 1980, four guys living on next to nothing started a regional music conference in Austin, Texas. They had no money, little experience, and low expectations. South by Southwest has grown from 700 attendees in its first year as a music-only festival to over 36,000 participants in 2010 for its expanded music, film and interactive festivals, achieving a global significance far beyond what the founders had dreamed. The festival’s massive and rapid success also drew backlash, criticism, and even arson, as the outsiders became the insiders. Outside Industry: The Story of SXSW goes backstage to show how this unprecedented music phenomenon became the most important music industry event in the world. The film features rare footage of rock legends such as Iggy Pop, Johnny Cash and Lucinda Williams and interviews with the four founders and key players in the history of SXSW.

The Other F Word
The word in this case is “father” (or fatherhood) and it’s a peek into the lives of punk rock icons who are now dads.
It’s a silly story that shows two guys down on their luck that do what they seem to be best at: party their butts off and stay high or drunk as much as possible. With few brain cells left or functioning, it’s like a microscope on the human tendency to unravel and dive headfirst into debauchery. A redemptive angle to the lives these two guys (imagine Bill & Ted, Bob & Doug McKenzie and Cheech & Chong rolled into one out-of-control story) is seeing how the love they have for one another and forgiveness enter into their relationship at crucial times.
This artist, Storm Thorgerson, is responsible for a ton of the iconic album covers from the early 70s onwards. If nothing else, the visuals in this film should be stunning. Interestingly enough, this film was financed on Kickstarter.com last summer.
This is a world premiere that’s showing tonight at Austin’s Paramount Theater.
Duncan Jones’ SOURCE CODE – Headliners (World Premiere) – Opening Night
A decorated soldier learns he’s part of a government experiment enabling him to cross over into another man’s identity.
If these films hold up to their promise, it should be a great SXSW this year (especially since this is only a handful of the films showing during the next week.
