Sxsw, Austin | featured news

SXSW 2013 is here, and bands, movie stars and digital entrepreneurs are all flocking to Austin for the annual Texas media fest. We thought we'd celebrate SXSW's week of films, fun and tunes by taking a look back at all the big screen flicks that call the Lone Star state home. It's a crazy list, filled with vampires, cults, cops and Johnny Depp.

Norah Jones unveiled something new at South By Southwest - again. Ten years after she shook Austin and the music world with "Come Away With Me," the 25 million-selling debut she released just weeks before the 2002 conference and festival, she returned to play her entire new album "Little Broken Hearts" at La Zona Rosa on Saturday night.

The 24th annual SXSW filled every available space in downtown Austin with musicians clamoring for attention.

SXSWi (the South by Southwest Interactive conference) is certainly our favorite track of the SXSW experience, but it’s not the only portion of the festival taking place this weekend. Film goers are out en masse in Austin too, and directors — both big and small — are using the event to showcase their films. Or in some cases, using it to show off preview of their films.
