“If you love movies that are trying to tell real, unadulterated stories, pure, heartfelt stories, you need to be a part of supporting those films and helping them come into the world, because that’s the only way that they will.” – Alison Bagnall When we contribute to a crowdfunding campaign, we tend to think of the specific project at hand. The quote above reminds us that for movies that pledge can also be an investment in more than a single film. It’s about supporting and encouraging independent filmmaking overall and certain genres or kinds of movies. Bagnall acknowledges that she makes a particular sort of film, which maybe is not everyone, yet which is really, really loved by enough people that they need to be made. Studios and larger production companies might not see reason to make films that a small audience is really into when they get more money out of films that a large...

The Alamo Drafthouse Ritz and Lamar are going to be buzzing during SXSW this year. From March 11-19, we’re pretty much doing nonstop movie screenings of the newest and most exciting indie and foreign films at the fest. Badgeholders, you’re already all set to enjoy the glory that is the SXSW Film Festival. But even if you don’t have a badge, you can still get in on the fun! Austinites, you can still get individual tickets at the door for every event that doesn’t sell out.
That piece of information is particularly handy once the music portion of the fest starts, on March 15. Especially at the South Lamar theatre, lines start to thin out and these awesome movies will be open to locals film buffs who don’t have badges.
Because of that, we’ve compiled a list of some of the must-see movies of SXSW...

Below we have three first look photos from the 2011 SXSW Film Festival entry The Dish & Spoon.
From writer/director Alison Bagnall (Buffalo 66, Piggie) comes the poignant comedy The Dish & Spoon. Greta Gerwig (Greenberg, No Strings Attached and the upcoming Arthur) is Rose, a woman descending into an emotional tailspin after her husband admits to an affair. Hell-bent on revenge, she drives to a boarded-up Delaware beach town to hunt down the other woman. Instead, she discovers a stranded British teenage boy (exciting newcomer Olly Alexander) marooned on the beach. This lost boy becomes her constant companion and caretaker. The mismatched pair stumbles through a series of small adventures that build towards an unconventional romance in this funny and affecting film.
The film co-stars Eleonore Hendricks, Amy Seimetz, and Adam Rothenberg.
