The festival returns for its 18th year with some big premieres, secret screenings and plenty more great genre programming.
A still from director F. Javier Gutierrez's"The Wait," a folk horror film making its North American premiere at Fantastic Fest.
You think of Austin’s South by Southwest festival, and you often think of a place where a lot of filmmakers get that early recognition, that start. Do you sort of see yourself as serving in that function as well, or not so much? It’s such a fun process. But also, we have to make a lot of tough decisions. We like to give our audience a really broad range. And so we’re looking for films from tons of different countries, tons of different viewpoints, tons of different styles. We definitely love to support first-time filmmakers, and then we also love to support our alumni filmmakers.
But we really support our friends that have worked so hard on these movies, and we wish that they could be here with us at the festival. And so we hope there’s a resolution soon, so all of our wonderful actors and writers are getting compensated for the great work that they do.Why the writers’ and actors’ strikes are ‘unbelievably bad timing’ for the Texas film industry
