While the official start of Spring is still a couple of weeks away, the beginning of SXSW this weekend gives us the same feeling of warmth and renewal — not to mention the fullness from all the best breakfast tacos and barbecue that Austin, Texas, has to offer!
This year, we’re thrilled to see so many friendly faces and familiar titles gracing the SXSW screens. From 2022 Sundance Film Festival alums to Sundance-supported projects making their debut, there’s a lot for champions of independent cinema to celebrate deep in the heart of Texas.
As we know, film festival programs can be daunting with all of their offerings, so below we’ve provided you with a quick cheat sheet of all the SXSW films that were born from the Sundance family. No need to thank us, just raise your mason jar cocktail to us once in a while.
