That’s where Hulu.com comes in.

A special screening of the new film 21 took place at the Paramount Theater in Austin, TX as part of the SXSW Film Festival. The film is about a group of MIT students who travel to Las Vegas on weekends to count cards and win big. After the screening, members of the cast and crew did a Q&A with the audience.

Año Uña is a movie that definitely defies the regular rules of film because it tells the story in a sequence of 24 photographs flipped as the story progresses. The story takes place in modern day America and in Mexico and, just as the language changes, so do the subtitles, from translated English, to translated Spanish. This premiere seemed well suited for SXSW because the Mexican and American conflicts are definitely felt in Austin, Texas with full force.

An astounding nine regional movie premieres will be taking place at this year’s South by Southwest (SXSW) film festival in Austin, TX. All of these premieres are early screenings of new mainstream movies that will serve as a testing ground for how the films will be marketed and distributed to the rest of America. The only major difference from a regular trip to the movies is that, at these screenings, there is a major opportunity to see the cast of the films and chat with them about each production.
