SXSW kicks starts with its newest virtual festival

By Nitisha Das

SXSW kick starts its film festival virtually! One of the mammoth Austin film festivals, the South by Southwest film festival opens up its closed doors towards the world welcoming the new reality. This month a year back, Austin held SXSW, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 situation, a week before its opening.

However, this time the production took a massive decision on bringing the live show online for their fans and participants. SXSW is a big film festival of the south that also showcases tech conference, music concerts and more. It is the very first online screening of the SXSW film festival and the entries of nominations have been flowing in from around the world.

The film festival has partnered with Amazon for its virtual interface and hopefully, this experiment will turn into something legendary for SXSW. The giant festival is scheduled to kick start from the 16th March till the 20th March, creating a legacy in itself.
