The recent campaign film on Uganda by Invisible Children - 'Kony 2012' calling for the arrest of war criminal Joseph Kony has had a dramatic reach unseen for any previous human rights video online. Within one week it has been seen over 70 million times on YouTube. How has it spread so far and so fast? It has also drawn a strong backlash of criticism - is it promoting stereotypes and paternalistic, is it promoting the wrong solution for the problems of Uganda? This panel will include perspectives from online advocacy, from video documentary, and human rights activism to ask: What can we learn from the spectacular online reach of the Kony 2012 film, what are the critiques of it from perspectives of representation and advocacy choices, and can we evaluate and prioritize these different perspectives?
Remember the Alamo? No? That's ok, we don't either - which is why our RVSX film crew and Fieldnotes brand notebooks are going to be taking the infamous RVSX bus from Austin to San Antonio so you can take note of all the Alamo has to offer. Want to come? We have room for 10, and all the Pop Chips and Jones Soda you can eat and drink - all we ask is that you donate to the Women with Drive foundation to hold your spot.
We're leaving Austin March 13th at 9:30am from the corner of Red River and Caesar Chavez Rd, right behind the convention center. We will get to the Alamo around 11:30am where we will spend a few hours checking out what exactly Santa Anna, Jim Bowie and Davie Crocket were up to all those years ago. We will leave San Antonio by 2 and be back to Austin by 4pm.
Come on, you know you want to Remember the Alamo.
The Women with Drive Foundation is a NFP that helps women get back on their feet by giving them the literal and figurative vehicle to do so. Your investment makes a direct difference in the lives of the participants! Your generosity provides the immediate relief from transportation costs, giving them the opportunity to focus on helping them help themselves. The funds collected will go toward support services, training and vehicle maintenance costs for our participants. You are making a difference!
$5 pays for a gallon of gas $30 pays for an oil change $100 pays for a complete tune-up. Any amount is welcome and appreciated!

Canon is proud to be a part of the 2012 SXSW Film Festival and inspire all filmmakers to imagine more. That was the story behind Project Imagin8ion, the first photo contest to inspire a Hollywood film.

WE ARE LEGION: The Story of the Hacktivists (SXSW 2012) takes us inside the world of Anonymous, the radical "hacktivist" collective that has redefined civil disobedience for the digital age. The film traces the collective's evolution from merry pranksters to a full-blown movement with a global reach. In the last year, Anonymous has been associated with attacks or “raids” on hundred’s of targets ranging from financial institutions, cyber-security firms to foreign dictators. They played a vital role in the “Occupy” movement and recently launched the largest DDoS attacks in history against Hollywood for their support of SOPA.

With the twenty-first century comes a new breed of artist: the indie game designer. These innovators design and program their distinctly personal games in the hope that they may find connection and success. After years of work, designer Edmund McMillen and programmer Tommy Refenes work toward the release of their first major game for Xbox, Super Meat Boy. At a big video-game expo, developer Phil Fish unveils his highly anticipated, FEZ. Designer Jonathan Blow considers a new game after his very successful game, Braid. Four developers, three games, one ultimate goal— to express oneself through a video game.

The Internet has made everyone a publisher. Even brands are now doing what used to solely be the domain of media companies: creating compelling content. Great content is being used to gain fans, inform customers and increase exposure on the Internet. This panel will discuss the principles of successful viral content - whether articles, infographics or videos and how companies can apply these to branded content. And we're talking about more than just slapping your logo on a pie chart. We'll discuss how to get started, measure results and set goals, as well as the importance of a consistent strategy. You've heard the phrase "content is king" over and over again; this panel will show how and why.
