The online event will support filmmakers affected by SXSW's cancellation Amazon Prime Video has teamed up with SXSW to launch a new online film festival.
The two are joining forces to launch ‘Prime Video presents the SXSW 2020 Film Festival Collection’ after the SXSW conference and festival was cancelled last month due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
The event offers filmmakers who were part of the 2020 SXSW Film Festival line-up an invitation to take part, with the online festival set to appear on Prime Video in the US for 10 days.
The event will take place in front of the paywall and will be free to all audiences. Details about when the online event will take place will emerge soon, but it is expected to be “a late April date”
