Every March, creatives of all stripes gather in Austin to witness, share and inspire the visions that will galvanize the filmmakers and ideas of tomorrow. SXSW Film Conference & Festival champions the vitality, innovation and opportunity that drives the entertainment and media landscape, and boldly tackles the evolution of all aspects of “film” today, down to its very definition.
A nexus of discovery and collaborative energy, SXSW Film celebrates the art and business of the possible.

Brenda passed away on Saturday, September 29 in Austin following a long, heroic battle with cancer. Her passion for music and the people who created it led to a position as Panels Coordinator for SXSW from 1988-1992 – the lean, early years when a comparative handful of people worked insanely long hours putting the event together.

There is a separate bag for each conference (Music, Film and Interactive), all with original artwork by well known and up-and-coming artists. Presenters of the big bags will have their brand name and logo printed prominently on the opposite side. Presenting these bags is a perfect way to gain enduring brand exposure. This year is the 20th anniversary for SXSW Film and Interactive, so it is a particularly memorable time to be involved.
New! 2014 dates!
Interactive: March 7–11
Film: March 7–16
