Life begins at 24 (frames per second): Living the SXSW Film Festival

Me and my partner-in-all-things had passes to the South by SouthWest (SXSW) Film Festival and used them to the fullest. I decided that since I was going anyway and since I yak about movies quite a bit that I would try to apply some form to my opinions, namely html. What I wanted to do was to write something about every movie I saw and send it to the good folks at Fringeware to add it to their website. That didn't quite work out as I had a hard time writing my thoughts cohesively enough to satisfy me.

List of winners, 1995
Here is a copy of the list of winners, with some synopses, copied from the Austin Chronicle page (it had disappeared last I checked so I'm glad I copied it.) I didn't see most of the runners-up but I thought all of the winning films were great. See them if you can.

Here's a list of the films (in no particular order) I saw at the festival. The links with stars go to my reviews. The rest of the links go to the Internet Movie Database, wonder that it is.
