Under Great White Northern Lights, the Emmett Malloy-directed documentary film that captures The White Stripes' incredible cross-country Canadian tour, will make its US premiere at the 2010 South By South West Music Conference. The premiere will take place on March 12th at 10:00pm at Austin's Paramount Theater. The screening will allow fans a peek into the touring lives of one of the world's most enigmatic bands before its official DVD/Blu-ray release on March 16th. In conjunction with its SXSW premiere, beginning March 12th, Under Great White Northern Lights will be available for 30 days via IFC's "Direct From SXSW" partnership. Found in a special branded "SXSW" section on the movies-on-demand page the same day the film premieres at SXSW, it will be available in approximately 40 million homes on most major cable systems, including Comcast, Cablevision, and Cox. The band's first ever live album, also available on March 16th, will be premiered exclusively on NPR.org's All Songs Considered as part of their "First Listen" series from Monday, March 8th to Tuesday, March 16th.
