Zack Sharf
The 2016 SXSW Film Festival and Conference is a little over one week away from kicking off, and organizers are putting the last touches on the exciting slate by announcing that “Gaycation” co-creators Ellen Page and Ian Daniel will be giving the fourth and final SXSW Film Keynote. The event runs March 11-19 in Austin, Texas.
“Gaycation” is Page and Daniel’s new documentary series for VICELAND. The show finds the duo traveling to different countries to learn about and immerse themselves in each region’s LGBTQ culture. Their SXSW Keynote will center on their careers, the equality movement and different cultural attitudes towards LGBTQ people. The event will take place Saturday, March 12 at 11:00am.
Page and Daniel will be the fourth and final Film Keynote for the 2016 event. Previously announced 2016 SXSW Film Keynotes will be given by Nelson George, Gale Anne Hurd and Joe Swanberg.
