SXSW Film & TV Festival Announces Name Change and Conference Updates

On July 28, 2022, the South by Southwest® (SXSW®) Conference and Festivals announced the Film Festival will now be called the Film & TV Festival. The change was made to reflect the event’s long standing and deep programming of episodics in the screening program, Film & TV tracks, and Keynote and Featured Speakers.

SXSW provides the game-changing buzz every filmmaker dreams about for the premiere of their feature film, episodic, short, or XR project in front of press, industry, and smart, enthusiastic audiences.
