SXSW 2010: Catch the Films You Missed Through VOD
If you live in Austin, or stuck around after the fest, you had the chance to see "Taste of SXSW" screenings of four films from the fest at Alamo earlier this week. But did you know that you can still see several films from SXSW 2009 and 2010 via cable TV and/or internet video on demand (VOD)?
I have Time Warner here in Austin, so I can't tell you how to find your VOD channels on other cable/satellite networks. It was hard enough to find on TWC. But if you're familiar with the VOD options with your digital TV provider, I'm sure you can find these films. On TWC, these are all on channel 1000 (Movies on Demand), and the newer ones are under the category SXSW 2010. The films you can see there are:
Crying with Laughter (only through Amazon VOD and iTunes until 4/1, then on cable VOD)
Erasing David (only through Amazon VOD and iTunes until 4/1, then on cable VOD) (my review)
Lovers of Hate (Jette's review)
The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights
Not to be outdone, SXSW 2009 films are also available on VOD. Some are already available on DVD, but some aren't and you can only see them via VOD right now. Here's the list from the TWC lineup:
You can also see quite a few older SXSW films on Hulu, including quite a lot of moviesI didn't get a chance to checkout, so I know what I'll be doing when I have some free time.
I'm particularly looking forward to Lovers of Hate because I had to miss it at the festival. I feel like I need to see it not only because of the Austin connections, but because I feel like I should see all three of Chris Doubek's performances in SXSW 2010 films (he was also in Earthling and The Happy Poet).
