South By Southwest, Texas’ paramount film festival, is back after a big cancellation last year. Running from March 11 through to 20, the acclaimed program will once again be in-person, with select films available on a digital platform. Every film on the announced program will get an in-person premiere, with additional screenings available for most films. Some have opted for the online option, too, but they will be available for badgeholders only — with geoblocking enabled, to the chagrin of international film journalists across the globe.
The 2022 Film Festival program includes ninety-nine features including seventy-six world premieres, four international premieres, four North American premieres, two U.S. premieres, and thirteen Texas premieres. That’s a whole lotta new movies to cram in between runs to Tex Mex place.
Some of the big highlights on the list? Well, Richard Linklater makes an appearance with his latest coming-of-ager, A Space Age Childhood, set in the suburbs of Houston on the eve of the Apollo 11 moon landing. A24’s hotly anticipated slasher Bodies Bodies Bodies, featuring a stacked cast of Film Twitter friendly talent — Rachel Sennott, Pete Davidson, and Borat 2‘s Maria Bakalova — is dubbed the “next Scream“. And, of course, the biggest attraction has to be the Nic Cage meta movie, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, for which the festival will boast the world premiere.
The long-awaited season three of Donald Glover’s Atlanta will also make its premiere at the festival, and the festival will open with the premiere of Everything Everywhere All At Once, the science-fiction film starring Michelle Yeoh that takes a non-Marvel spin on the concept of the multiverse.
Interested audiences can check out the full 2022 lineup and purchase online and in-person tickets for the festival on SXSW’s website.
