Thanks to everyone who came to check the film out in Austin - we all had a great time at SXSW, and I think we definitely converted a good deal more Scott fans. Let the obsession begin!

The only drawback to having a film in a film festival is that you rarely have time to see other films.  Luckily I was able to catch the luminous and moving “Kurt Cobain: About a Son” by AJ Schnack as well as a new print of Bruce Weber’s classic portrait of Chet Baker, “Let’s Get Lost” which was the film that gave me the idea to do a film about Scott Walker in the first place.
Completely wrecked after 24 hours of planes/trains/taxicabs trying to get home despite the storms - off to Thessaloníki in about five hours. SXSW press rolling in - check in the News & Reviews for a few new bits: review in Salon.com, Austin Chronicle and American-Statesman, and buzz on various blogs. And of course, a few more tequila-induced photos of the Texas-sized fun we had…
And it is official - we have been selected for the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. (full line-up here)

Finally get to bring it on home!

Got the following photo emailed to us from a fan named Rat Bastard in Miami (you know, the infamous sound engineer who recorded Marilyn Manson’s first demos…) wearing his SW30 Tee-shirt. Not only that, he’s flying to Austin just to see the film. Now THAT’S dedication. Many thanks Rat! Look forward to seeing you at the show.

Would love to see how the shirts look - send in some photos and I might just make up a whole page of pics. In fact, I might just start with Angela, my co-director on “Cinemania” modeling her shirt at the SW30 after-party in Berlin…

Our North American Premiere at SXSW is less than a week away.
screenings as follows:
Tuesday, March 13th at 7:15pm - Alamo Downtown

Thursday, March 15th at 1:45 pm - Alamo Downtown

For all you Austin based fans, or anyone making the trip to Texas for the fest, please note that on Wednesday, March 14th, I’ll be hanging out at the 4AD Label Showcase at Emo’s handing out SW30 postcards and selling the ever-popular SW30 tee-shirts. Come by and say hello and check out some great bands: Wolf & Cub, Mountain Goats, Blonde Redhead and more.
As the news & reviews roll in, we’ll be posting them on the site, so keep an eye out. And stand by for another North American festival announcement soon…

A reclusive musician steps out from the shadows in absorbing docu “Scott Walker: 30th Century Man.” Longtime fans of Walker’s warm, sepulchral baritone, startlingly evocative songwriting and lushly imaginative instrumentation will rejoice at this revealing docu, while pic will garner converts via fest play, limited arthouse exposure and rich ancillary.

Eddie Cockrell reviews the film in Berlin for Variety. Read the full review here.

Scott commissioned by CandoCo Dance Company to create new piece of music.
“Rafael Bonachela, whose choreographic credits include Rambert Dance Company and Kylie Minogue, describes himself as a movement junky drawing on inspiration in the visual arts and popular culture, to create work in a distinctive fresh style. He is working with renowned composer Scott Walker to create a dark, physically charged yet beautifully striking piece, co-commissioned by the Queen Elizabeth Hall, South Bank Centre.”

CandoCo is the leading contemporary dance company of disabled and non- disabled dancers.
