Sláinte! Your friends at the Screengrab are gathering this weekend in Austin for SXSW, and you know what that means! Paramedics will be on call 24/7, particularly since the festival bleeds over into St. Patrick’s Day this year. We’ve already brought you oodles of SXSW-related coverage: Ten Must-See Documentaries (Parts One and Two), Ten Must-See Narrative Films (Parts One and Two), SXSW Explosion, SXSW Reviews: Roadsworth and New World Order, and our Favorite Movies About Music: Non-Fiction Edition (Parts One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six and Seven). And there’s plenty more coverage to come in the week ahead, assuming the local bars have wi-fi.
