Amazon Prime Video is joining forces with the SXSW Festival! The Amazon streaming service is teaming up with the festival to launch “Prime Video presents the SXSW 2020 Film Festival Collection,” after all events were canceled amid the ongoing world health crisis.
The tech company is inviting filmmakers to take part in this online film festival, which will play exclusively on Prime Video in the U.S.
The event will be available in front of the Prime Video paywall and free to all audiences around the country, according to Variety, with or without an Amazon Prime membership.
SXSW was originally slated to take place in March, but the city government in Austin cancelled the event due to public health concerns.
