I was very happy to learn last night that BLACK was one of the six titles programmed by Fantastic Fest for the 2009 SXSW (South by Southwest) Film Festival and Conference in Austin, Texas!

 I believe this festival will be the perfect platform for BLACK’s World Premiere, which the fest nicely describes as “A nouveau-blacksploitation adventure awash in black magic, African Mysticism, mutant arms dealers, gargantuan machete-wielding mercenary armies and a truckload of knuckle-sandwiches.”

Other selected titles include much buzzed-about Ong Bak 2, The Horseman, Lesbian Vampire Killers, the Haunting in Connecticut and Pontypool. Now I want to go to Austin too!

Twitchfilm.net dedicated a post just for this news, which you can read at Twitchfilm.net. You may also want to visit the SXSW Film and Conference website at SXSW.com and the Fantastic Fest at FantasticFest.com.

Special thanks for Wide Management for working on the festival booking, and the Fantastic Fest team, helmed by Tim League, for selecting the film!
