The SXSW Briefings Roadshow around the UK has come to a successful conclusion. Nearly 600 aspiring delegates and showcase artists have attended briefings in Liverpool, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds, London, Brighton, Cardiff, Bristol and Belfast to hear SXSW UK & Ireland representative Una Johnston outline the opportunities for UK filmmakers, digital creatives and artists at SXSW Film, Interactive and Music. Phil Patterson (UKTI’s International Business Specialist, Music Industry) spoke about plans for the British at SXSW 2011. Those at the briefings with first hand experience of SXSW as a delegate or as an artist talked of their experiences and shared invaluable tips and advice. SXSW director Louis Black, who was in London to attend the Horror Film Festival FrightFest charmed everyone at that briefing with tales of SXSW’s early days and the independent spirit that characterizes SXSW programming.
