Docs abound in the Lone Star State, and the next big whistle stop on the festival express is SXSW, where the Documentary Feature Competition is one of five strands where nonfiction fans can feast on some delectable fare. Sundance and Slamdance award-winners like Ondi Timoner's We Live in Public, Anders Ostergaard's Burma VJ, and Zachary Levy's Strongman; world premieres from Bradley  Beesley (Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo), Gary Hustwit (Objectified) and film critic/scholar Gerald Peary (For the Love of Movies: The Story of Film Criticism); profiles of Wavy Gravy (Saint Misbehavin: The Life and Time of Wavy Gravy), The Doors (When You're Strange) and Youssou N'Dour  (Youssou N'Dour: I Bring What I Love): these are just a few of the dynamic offerings in chief programmer's Janet Pierson's maiden voyage at SXSW.
