Panels

SXSW Film Panels present topics from across the film spectrum with an emphasis on where the Film and Interactive worlds intersect. Topics for 2011 will include online marketing, transmedia, social networks, and the ever evolving landscape of distribution and exhibition, as well as entertaining discussions with filmmakers and industry veterans exploring their craft.

Workshops
