07 Mar SXSWEco will be at SXSW This Year!
If you’re in town for SXSW Interactive, don’t miss the SXSW Eco & Geostellar Launch Party Saturday, March 9 at Blackheart (6-9PM). We’re ringing in our 2013 season with tacos, cocktails, fun and entertainment with our partners at Geostellar: the Sustainable Energy Network.
Stop by the Meet Up Tent on Monday, March 11 to mingle with fellow forward-thinking registrants and SXSW Eco staff at the SXSW Eco Meet Up: Monday, March 11 (3:30-4:30pm). We’ll be discussing initiatives for SXSW Eco 2013 and the myriad of ways you can get involved, from pitching your cleantech startup to speaking to hosting a volunteer event.
The SXSW FIlm Festival is world-renowned for its ability to introduce new and fresh voices. SXSW Eco is thrilled to present two documentary features selected by SXSW Film to premiere at this year’s festival.
Fall and Winter
FALL AND WINTER is an epic and spectacularly photographed journey across the U.S. in search of what is causing our unfolding global crisis. Pollution, droughts and diminishing resources now threaten the very engine driving these catastrophes: civilization itself. Massive dislocations are manifesting in our lifetime, and our world will never be the same. This is not a story of despair but rather a rallying effort to find our way back towards harmony with nature. FALL AND WINTER uncovers ingenious new strategies for the future while drawing on past wisdom; it is a survival guide for the 21st century.
TINY: A Story About Living SmallWhat is home? And how do we find it? TINY: A Story About Living Small follows one couple's attempt to build a "tiny house" from scratch with no building experience, and profiles other families who have downsized their lives into houses smaller than the average parking space. Through homes stripped down to their essentials, the film raises questions about sustainability, good design, and the changing American Dream. Can living small go big?

Stop by between Saturday, March 9th and Saturday, March 16th for an amazing experience in the heart of downtown Austin.
