"SXSW is always fascinated by films that take a familiar trope and somehow, against all odds, make it fresh and exhilarating - works that spin tantalizing webs out of what seems like thin air," said Janet Pierson, Head of SXSW Film, in an official press release, according to Slash Film. "When faced with a record 2,400 feature submissions, we had every intention to cut back on the total number in our lineup. But as we discovered the fantastic array of talent and fell in love with these 145 features, we had no choice but to program as many that resonated as possible."
