Episode 366: The 2023 SXSW Film Festival (Curtain Raiser)

For the better part of the last 20 years covering film festivals, I used to do a preview piece for eFilmCritic about South by Southwest called “10 Films To See.” Now that the site is no more I am bringing it to the Movie Madness podcast and offering those attending my suggestions to get on their schedule. They include a number of terrific documentaries about television and music, films where women take control, scary (and hopeful) films about technology and THE horror film to see where one of our great character actors gets to take center stage. Literally. But if you are attending Austin, all of these films should be highlighted on your schedule. And if you are not, be on the lookout for them in the future.
