Amazon Prime Video is bringing the canceled South by Southwest (SXSW) 2020 Film Festival collection online via a 10-day digital event called Prime Video presents the SXSW 2020 Film Festival Collection.
Customers in the US can soon catch these films exclusively through Prime Video, and there is no need for an Amazon Prime membership to enjoy the collection.
The event allows filmmakers to enter their work to be aired virtually over a 10-day period. A screening fee from Amazon’s rights will be paid to the filmmakers.
A launch date for the program has not been announced yet, but some of these films were also put up for viewing on Mailchimp’s streaming website last month.
Okay, exciting news y'all! We’re partnering with @SXSW on a 10-day streaming event to bring you a collection of movies from this year’s line-up. It'll be free to everyone in the U.S. (yeah, we said everyone) because these films deserve an audience. Stay tuned for more details!
