Spring in Austin is beautiful with big Texas sunsets, plants warming up from winter, and creatives from around the world flocking to the SXSW Film & TV Festival.
The nine-day event is a whirlwind of World Premieres, Conference Sessions, and is often considered a launchpad for artists both behind and in front of the camera.
Expect the unexpected each March and you just might witness history in the making. From a 2022 SXSW World Premiere to the 2023 Academy Awards, Everything Everywhere All At Once won seven Oscars including Best Picture, the Daniels for Director, Jamie Lee Curtis for Best Supporting Actress, Michelle Yeoh for Best Actress, Key Huy Quan for Best Supporting Actor, Best Editing, and Original Screenplay.
