SXSW Film Program Features Boyhood, Open Windows, and Faults

We got a list of part of the SXSW premiere lineup of films not long ago, with Veronica Mars and Jon Favreaus Chef announced as the fests first wave of films. Now weve got most of the rest of the festivals lineup. The midnight selections and some inevitable late-breaking additions are still to be announced, but this should be more than enough to get potential attendees excited about the 2014 lineup.

SXSW will feature the premiere of Nacho Vigalondos Open Windows (above),as well as the feature Faults from Riley Stearns, who directed the great short film The Cub. (Faults features Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the lead in a story about cult brainwashing and deprogramming.) Theres also a great set of films imported from Sundance, including Richard Linklaters Boyhood, which only played twice in Park City, and films such as The Raid 2 and Frank, the latter of which features sequences shot at last years SXSW.

Check out the full lineup below.
