SXSW: The Photoblog

Filed under: SXSW », Images », Cinematical Indie »


I didn't manage to snap any celebrity photos at SXSW this year, unfortunately. I saw Richard Linklater at the Hell on Wheels screening but he was surrounded by a small crowd. And I didn't go to many parties, because I am a delicate flower who needs at least a little rest during festivals. Despite this, I did capture some interesting images during SXSW.

The photo above is one of my favorite SXSW venues, Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar, all decked out for opening night. That sign on top of the marquee is actually a slide being projected to a big white screen; I think the original intent was to show movies in that parking lot, but that hasn't yet happened. There were a few times during the festival where I had to fight the urge to duck into another theater at Alamo and veg out to part of Children of Men, Black Snake Moan or Pan's Labyrinth, but I resisted and saw lots of new features and documentaries instead.

Austin Film Festival: The Photoblog

Filed under: Fandom », Austin »

It's a challenge to take photos during a film festival. You never know which screenings will be the kind where you'll be subjected to a metal detector, purse search and repeated warnings about No Cameras. And if you're attending a big splashy premiere at the Paramount in downtown Austin, you usually have to park pretty far from the theater, so you can't just run back to the car at any time to dump your camera. Despite these limitations, I did manage to snap some pictures from this year's Austin Film Festival, which I thought I'd share.



I love the marquee at the Paramount, so I had to take at least one photo of it all lit up. The Paramount was the venue for AFF's biggest films this year, since it's centrally located and has a pretty large capacity. The TV Set was AFF's opening-night film.
