Your poster is often the first experience an audience has with your film. It can inspire and intrigue or confuse and disappoint. That’s why AIGA Austin and SXSW Film are proud to honor exceptional film poster design with the 2010 SXSW Film Design Award for Excellence in Poster Design. If your film is showing at this year’s festival, it’s eligible to win. Also, all entries will be showcased at both the Austin Museum of Art and the Austin Convention Center during the festival. Winners will be announced at the SXSW Film Awards on March 16, 2010. Your film has impressed the critics, so enter your film’s poster and see if it will do the same.

Overheard at a lecture recently on the notion of repentance, and the state of “apologies” in society. A number of famous athletes and politicians have been making the rounds lately, displaying the many different fashions of regret. If you listen closely to their words, you may notice the absence of a real heartfelt apology and understanding of the offense. It has become a rare occasion that a complete apology is made without equivocation.

Today’s installment of Christine Major’s “SXSW in Two Words” concludes the series and leaves us wanting more. More SXSW! Thanks to Christine for sharing her first SXSW experience with us.
