"I want to die on Mars, but not impact" became one of the most tweeted-about lines from the 2013 SXSW Interactive Festival. Nonetheless, the Elon Musk keynote conversation with Chris Anderson in Austin in March offered much much more than this clever soundbite.

SXSW Eco's PanelPicker is open for voting! From corporations using biomimicry to better their products to saving forests with paper, the sessions submitted for 2013 are as diverse and exciting as the event itself. Our staff has been hard at work developing new and improved events for this year's conference including:
GIMME THE LOOT
Narrative Competition, 2012
Jonathan Demme presents this feature debut from writer/director Adam Leon. Love and the price of infamy play out as a group of friends run the streets of New York hoping to become the biggest writers in the city. Gimme the Loot won the Grand Jury Prize at last year's fest so this is some quality celluloid, y'all.
