SXSW Festival Has International Impact
The annual South by Southwest Conference in the southern U.S. state of Texas will wrap up this weekend with more panel discussions, more film screenings and a lot more music. Tens of thousands of music fans, film buffs and high-tech entrepreneurs have crowded downtown streets since the event started on March 13, meeting up, networking and partying. As VOA’s Greg Flakus reports from Austin, the business and the fun have an increasingly international flavor.
