The South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Conference and Festival divulged a handful of titles to premiere at the 2015 event, showcasing the diverse range of spirited, inspiring topics and filmmaking styles SXSW is known for.
While we wait for the midnight titles to be revealed on February 10, SXSW will host premieres of award-winning filmmaker Karyn Kusama’s taut thriller, The Invitation (pictured below), and the North American premiere of Alex Garland’s eagerly-awaited directorial debut, Ex Machina (pictured above), starring Oscar Isaac.
Alex Garland, writer of 28 Days Later and Sunshine, helms the stylish and cerebral thriller Ex Machina, starring Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac and Alicia Vikander. “A young programmer is selected to participate in a breakthrough experiment in artificial intelligence by evaluating the human qualities of a breathtaking female A.I.”
Karyn Kusama directs The Invitation, having its World Premiere, which stars Logan Marshall-Green, Tammy Blanchard, Michiel Huisman, Emayatzy Corinealdi, and Lindsay Burdge. In it, “A reunion of old friends turns into a nightmare when one guest, a haunted man whose ex-wife is among the hosts, begins to fear that the night is part of a terrifying agenda.”
Celebrating its 22nd year, the SXSW Film Conference and Festival will take place March 13 – 21, 2015 in Austin, Texas.
