SXSW 2024 Adds 50 More Bangers: MONKEY MAN, TIMESTALKER, SEW TORN, More
Bangers, I say, absolute bangers!
(Actually, I confess that I have no idea what 'bangers' means in modern popular culture. I just like the way it sounds; I hope I'm not offending anybody.)
Anyway, yesterday SXSW announced that 50 -- that's right, fifty (50) -- projects have been added to the lineup for the film festival next month in Austin, Texas, bringing the total up to 115 features. To quote the press release, that's composed of ...
"89 World Premieres, 3 International Premieres, 6 North American Premieres, 4 U.S. Premieres, 13 Texas Premieres + 80 Short Films including 19 Music Videos. The TV program includes 7 TV Premieres, 8 TV Spotlight World Premieres and 6 Independent TV Pilots. The XR Experience program includes 38 projects."
Everything announced sounds good, including Dev Patel's action thriller Monkey Man (pictured above); Michael Mohan's Immaculate, starring Sydney Sweeney; and Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian's "futuristic lunar adventure" Doppelgängers³.
To save (my) time, I will now point you to the official SXSW site, where you can peruse all the titles for yourself, and, if you're lucky enough to be going to Austin for the fest, decide what you want to see.
