Jornalista Baby Garroux: President Obama traveled to South by Southwest for a conversation on civic engagement

O que houve com o processo do ‘Leão’ contra Leonardo DiCaprio não tenho idéia, mas ali é pente fino e não deixa barato....

O que estou sabendo é que ele terá um encontro com o presidente Barack Obama no festival na Casa Branca, na segunda-feira (3 de outubro). O evento ‘South by South Lawn’ é produzido com o SXSW, sempre celebrando o “espírito inovador” com talks, performances musicais, um festival de cinema (White House Student Film Festival) e série de eventos interativos.

Noite de glórias para DiCaprio que vai fazer a première de seu documentário “Before the Flood”, sobre as mudanças climáticas com trilha sonora do frontman Trent Reznor. E o ator participará de uma discussão sobre o tema junto da cientista Katharine Hayhoe, especialista no assunto, e também o presidente Obama.

Encontro com direito a workshop com os criadores e elenco de “Stranger Things”, da Netflix. Nas performances musicais, The Lumineers e Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings.

Earlier this year, President Obama traveled to South by Southwest® for a conversation on civic engagement. In Austin, he called on creative thinkers and entrepreneurs from across the country to help tackle our toughest challenges. On Monday, October 3, we're celebrating that spirit of innovation at South by South Lawn, a White House festival of ideas, art, and action.

At SXSL, we'll call on every American to roll up their sleeves and discover their own way to make a positive difference in our country. And it's an opportunity to celebrate the inspiring work so many Americans have already accomplished.

So join us on October 3, no matter where you are. The festival will be streamed live on WhiteHouse.gov, Facebook.com/WhiteHouse, and sxsw.com/live. Join the conversation using #SXSL to share your ideas and tell us how you’ll make a difference in the world.

In coordination with the American Film Institute (AFI), the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH), the National Park Foundation, and South by Southwest®, we’re excited to share the latest on what you can expect to see at SXSL – tay tuned for more updates!
