NEW YORK (AP) — The South by Southwest Film Conference and Festival unveiled the slate for its 23rd edition, including a documentary on Burt Reynolds and premieres of upcoming HBO series from Danny McBride.
The 139 films announced Tuesday by the Austin, Texas, festival are, as usual for SXSW, heavy on music documentaries, thrillers and comedies. Among them are Jesse Moss’ “The Bandit,” about Reynolds; an Ethan Hawke-starring revenge thriller from Blumhouse Pictures titled, “In a Valley of Violence”; a first-person action film starring Sharlto Copley, “Hardcore Henry”; and McBride’s upcoming comedy series “Vice Principals.”
Other selections include Mike Birbiglia’s “Don’t Think Twice”; the Adam Scott-Nick Kroll comedy, “My Blind Brother”; and a documentary on the Duke Lacrosse scandal “Fantastic Lies.”
SXSW Film runs March 11-19.
