Chris Morris’ dark comedy Four Lions, about an attempt by British jihadis to devastate the London Marathon, will close the SXSW Festival next month.

Morris’ film premiered at Sundance in January and was added to the line-up along with several other titles.

New feature selections includes the documentaries American Grindhouse from Elijah Drenner’s, Don Letts’s UK entry Strummerville, about the late Clash frontman Joe Strummer, and Tom DiCillo’s When You’re Strange – A Film About The Doors.

SXSW opens on March 12 with Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass and runs until March 20.
