The 25th South by Southwest Film Festival, March 11-19, announced its lineup of 130 films on February 2. The event will feature 60 world premieres, including Outside Industry: The Story of SXSW, the chronicle of an unassuming idea that has grown into the leading music industry event in the world.

The festival will open with Red Riding Hood starring Amanda Seyfried and Gary Oldman. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke, who made the first film in The Twilight Saga, this medieval story incorporates a werewolf into the classic fairy tale.

The 25th SXSW Festival & Conference runs March 11-20 in Austin, Texas, with an interactive section March 11-15 and a music section running March 16-20. By day there are panels on a range of topics and special speakers. At night, the extravaganza features 2,000 bands from around the world performing at venues across the city.
