The inaugural SXSW Sydney has opened submissions for its screen festival, calling out for feature film, short, episodic, music video or XR projects.
The Midnighters section at this year's South By Southwest will have a healthy Australian contingent, including the world premiere of the Cairnes brothers' 'Late Night with the Devil'.
"We made a horror film and it's found this wonderful audience. It's definitely unexpected. And I wouldn't even necessarily say that our film is a straight horror film, but obviously as soon as you squash someone's head, it tends to not really fall in any other genre, no matter what the rest of the movie's about."
The event, to be headed by managing director Colin Daniels, will be an exploration of the best in music, screen, gaming, technology, and innovation, with more than 1,000 experiences.
