Hip-hop will be in full effect at the annual SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas. Andre 3000’s Jimi Hendrix movie and a documentary on A$AP Rocky are among the 14 music-related films premiering at the event.
The Jimi Hendrix biopic ‘All Is By My Side‘ will make its U.S. premiere at the SXSW Film Festival. The movie, which is directed by John Ridley, features Three Stacks as the guitar god. The film chronicles the late guitarist’s life in England from 1966 to 1967, when he was recording his classic debut album, ‘Are You Experienced.’
The other film is a documentary called ‘SVDDXNLY‘ from director David Laven. Narrated by A$AP Rocky, the hour-long movie details the rise of the A$AP Mob crew and boasts never-before-seen footage of interviews with friends and family. The film also features appearances from Macklemore, Jeremy Scott, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa and others.
The film portion of SXSW, now in its 21st year, runs March 7-15 in Austin, Texas.
