SXSW Film Festival on Amazon Prime

Starting on Monday, April 27, SXSW will be streaming the SXSW 2020 Film Festival Collection on Amazon Prime Video. The SXSW Festival was postponed in early March due to COVID-19. As such, the festival has partnered with Prime to ensure the filmmakers are still recognized for their work. From April 27 to May 6, 2020, the event will be available in front of the Prime Video paywall, free to all U.S. audiences with or without an Amazon Prime membership — all that is needed is a free Amazon account.

Listed below are the films created by or associated with NYU Tisch Alumni who have opted into streaming. Congratulations to the talented alumni who dedicated time and effort to these projects!
