After two years of virtual programming, the South by Southwest Film Festival has announced the program for its return to an in-person event. The festival will close with the long-awaited Season 3 premiere of the FX series "Atlanta." As previously announced, the opening night film will be the world premiere of A24's "Everything Everywhere All at Once" written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Steinert and starring Michelle Yeoh.
The 2022 edition of SXSW, scheduled to run March 11-20, will be focused primarily on in-person events in Austin, Texas. The announced program includes 99 feature films, with 76 world premieres.
Where the recently concluded Sundance Film Festival had originally planned to have an in-person event, it was only a few weeks before the festival launch that organizers shifted to mostly virtual in face of the quickly spreading omicron variant.
