Seth - the link should be live now. Thanks for the feedback. As far as my experience with the film pass goes, I must have had some serious luck, because I got into all but two of the screenings that I planned to attend last year. Is it worth $65+ this year? That remains to be seen. I would love to hear which films people are interested in. I am excited about Run, Fat Boy, Run, even though I am sure that the romantic comedy preciousness of it all could possibly outweight the acerbic wit of Pegg, but hey, I'm an optimist. I am also interested in Bulletproof Salesman, Explicit Ills (specifically to see Paul Dano's next role after There Will Be Blood) and A Necessary Death, because deep down I am a voyeur. And that is just the tip of the iceberg....

Steph, Thanks for getting this complete list posted in a timely and organized fashion. Could you add a link to where people can get badges/passes/etc.? It will save readers the extra step of going to google, then clicking around the SXSW site to figure out how many hundreds of dollars they're going to have to pay. BTW- My experience of having attended the last 7 years of SXSW film is that the organizers have increasingly been over-selling badges. With a limited number of venues showing films at the same time, film badgers and all the platinum bastards fill the theaters to anything worth seeing and pass holders are shafted even if they're at the front of the passes line. Buy a pass at your own peril. http://2008.sxsw.com/register_to_attend/ Seth
