A brand new venue for SXSW 2013, the Topfer Theater at ZACH is an essential, key destination for the full SXSW experience.

The striking new venue is the latest addition to the 78 year old ZACH, an Austin icon.. The 420-seat venue will host Midnighter Premieres, Red Carpets and more; world premiere screenings at the Topfer include Some Girl(s), Gus and Hours

And did we mention that the Topfer is a great place to grab a bite to eat or a drink? Handily located on the Film Fest Shuttle route, it's also a brief walk from the Violet Crown, Rollins and Long Center convergence events. Or why not make like a local and take a short scenic stroll along Lady Bird Lake trail from downtown?
