SXSW News

One of two film festivals in Austin, South by Southwest started as a music festival and now has a very good film festival attached. Our Director of Programming, Eric Hatch, is there and Matt Porterfield’s PUTTY HILL makes its second stop on the film festival circuit, after Berlin. It’ll be part of MFF 2010. Richard Brody, a big advocate for for Matt’s first feature, HAMILTON (MFF 2006), called his second feature “extraordinary” in The New Yorker online, and compared the cinematography to 60s Godard. http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/movies/2010/03/the-thrill-of-putty-hill.html
