Jumping jack-o-laterns! SXSW Interactive is happy to release another 20 plus panels that will be part of the 2009 event. Many of the sessions in today’s release cover the topic of digital filmmaking, while others explore how new media is radically changing the music industry. In addition to these panels, we are excited to announce the confirmation of several high-profile feature speakers for the 2009 event, including Jim Coudal, Henry Jenkins, Kathy Sierra and Jared Spool.

But, of course, there is always much much more! Look for the last big batch of panel content to be posted on the SXSW website the week of November 10. During that week, we will also release the first list of 2009 Core Conversations and Book Readings, plus provide details regarding the all-new SXSW Extended Content program. Finally, we have yet to post any of the panels that will be part of ScreenBurn at SXSW. Look for the first announcement of this video-game-related programming on November 5.
