Every March, creatives of all stripes gather in Austin to witness, share and inspire the visions that will galvanize the filmmakers and ideas of tomorrow. SXSW Film Conference & Festival champions the vitality, innovation and opportunity that drives the entertainment and media landscape, and boldly tackles the evolution of all aspects of “film” today, down to its very definition.
A nexus of discovery and collaborative energy, SXSW Film celebrates the art and business of the possible.
Kick start your SXSW day by grabbing free breakfast each morning at the Java Monster Café, located in the Registrants Lounge at 4th & Neches, March 9-16. Monster Energy will be offering complimentary Java Monster Coffee + Energy drinks to all registrants and wristband holders, which will provide you with enough energy to last the long day ahead. Come by and enjoy the food and Java Monster, mingle, and listen to some music.
There are lots of you-had-to-be-there moments at SXSW; when so many people from the film, interactive, music and comedy worlds hang out in the same place, amazing things happen. If only there was some way to record it all...
