Directed/Written by: Michael Tully
Starring: Robert Longstreet, Brian Kotzur, Rachel Korine, Onur Tukel and Michael Tully
Distributed by Sundance Selects, “Septien” opens with credits consumed by graphic cartoon images, as disturbing as they are interesting. In the film, one brother (writer-director Michael Tully) returns home, newly bearded with tattered clothes, after 18 years in the ether, refusing to comment on his whereabouts and leaving the audience clamoring for clarity.
He’s only one among an odd cast of characters, and in addition to the brothers, the relationship of the others in and around the household is curious: Is the gay father figure their father? Is he their “mother” figure? What did their mentally challenged friend find buried in the forest? And how is the bearded returnee — otherwise known as Cornelius Rawlings — so good at tennis and so adept at sniffing gas?...

Nashville locals Tim Chad & Sherry make beat-heavy love songs that might remind you of Beck or Ween when they turned on the groove. Previously members of Silver Jews and Lambchop, Tim Chad & Sherry are not their real names, and I guess they like it that way.
The band's really the creation of songwriter and drummer Brian Kotzur, who was the Silver Jews drummer. If you're the rare bird who saw Harmony Korine's last film, the wild geriatric romp "Trash Humpers," you may recognize Kotzur, who played "Buddy."
Their new record, "Baby We Can Work It Out," is out now on Cleft. Here's their lusty album teaser:
Download: Tim Chad & Sherry's "The Love I Make" from "Baby We Can Work It Out"...

Director: Harmony Korine Writer: Harmony Korine Starring: Rachel Korine, Travis Nicholson, Brian Kotzur, Harmony Korine Shot in handheld Pov – as if someone found an old VHS tape from the 1980s – Trash Humpers follows a gruesome threesome of elderly sexual deviants. Okay, let’s not beat around the bush – the title is quite literal – these old perverts have a strange penchant for grinding on trash cans and other inanimate objects. They also drag baby dolls from their bicycles, tap dance in parking lots, and kill televisions (they must be fans of Ned’s Atomic Dustbin). Every film by Harmony Korine has a few “what the fuck?” moments; but Trash Humpers is the first to be one long, uninterrupted “what the fuck?” moment. I have taken a lot of time to chew on this review; but, over a month later, I still find Trash Humpers to be lodged in my stomach impenetrable by digestive fluids.

Less than a week worth of recovering from the Sundance Film Festival, and we are already looking forward to our next, big film fest coverage. That would be the South by Southwest Film Festival held annually in Austin, Texas. Last year, Scott and I brought you all kinds of coverage from the Lone Star State, and this year doesn’t look to be much different.
With that, the announcement came last night of the feature films that will be playing at the SXSW Film Festival. Previous announcement were already made about films like Cold Weather, Electra Luxx, Hubble 3D, Lemmy, Saturday Night, and The White Stripes: Under Great White Northern Lights making their debut. Kick-ass was recently announced as the opening night film, as well.
Among the other films being presented this year are some Sundance darlings, a few, highly anticipated premieres, and MacGruber.

Late yesterday the SXSW Fim Festival, which runs from March 12-20 in Austin, TX, announced the full lineup of films that will be screening at this year’s event. And baby, it’s quite a list. Mixing big name films with intimate indie gems, the sheer number of films and the vast array of talented filmmakers is sure to be a hit with attendees and critics alike.
This lineup includes premieres of studio films such as Universal’s MacGruber, Lionsgate’s teen superhero actioneer Kick-Ass and smaller films like Tim Blake Nelson’s Leaves of Grass, Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Micmacs, Michel Gondry’s The Thorn in the Heart and Steven Soderbergh’s And Everything Is Going Fine. With so many films to watch, it will be very difficult to find time to seem them all during the events nine days. But hell, we’re going to try.

The 2010 SXSW Film Festival and Conference has announced its initial slate of titles. The list is rife with hot world premieres (Kick-Ass), films fresh from Sundance (The Runaways, Cyrus), hot titles from the 2009 editions of Tiff and Cannes that haven't had much U.S. play (Enter the Void, Dogtooth, Trash Humpers), interesting documentaries (Lemmy, The People v. George Lucas) and much, much more. Simon Rumley's Red, White & Blue, which has received much praise on Twitch based on its Iffr screenings, will have its North American premiere.
Midnight programming courtesy of Fantastic Fest is also back with titles like Higanjima, Monsters, Serbian Film, Outcast, and a yet to be announced special film. Keep eye out for SXSW coverage at Twitch, but for now, pursue the massive list below (descriptions courtesy of SXSW).
