SXSW Coming to Amazon Prime Video for Online Film Festival

SXSW was canceled this year, as has been the case with every major public gathering in the world. This was a huge blow not only for the festival and its future but for the exhibitors, musicians and filmmakers.

However, the later might still have their work seen. Amazon Prime Video has announced they are teaming up with SXSW to bring the 2020 Film Festival Collection to their streaming platform.

Even better than this one-time online festival showcasing films from the SXSW 2020 lineup is that IT’S FREE! All you will need is an Amazon account. No prime membership needed.
