Want to participate in the 2024 SXSW Film & TV Festival? If you’ve got a feature-length film to submit, you’re in the right place.

All Feature Film submissions must be over 40 minutes in length.

Please take a moment to read the Film & TV Submissions FAQ for answers to common application questions.

Please submit your application only when your film is in the most complete and finished form possible. Please be aware SXSW will not screen multiple updates/versions of your film for programming consideration. We will only screen the first cut submitted. SXSW does not accept trailers or rough assemblies as submissions, but will accept work-in-progress cuts (picture lock with temp sound, color, etc.).

SXSW requires all feature-length films be submitted via link. If you change this link or any of your login information and do not inform SXSW, your film could be disqualified.

  • Your submission link must be to a secure, online version of your film via an external site (i.e. your own website, Vimeo, unlisted Youtube, etc.)
  • Your submission link must be working before you complete your submission application
  • Your submission link must be available through March 2024

For more information, see the Submission Link section of the application.

You will receive a confirmation email from SXSW within 48 hours of your submission. This email will confirm that your film has been submitted correctly. If you do not receive this letter within 48 hours, please follow up via email to ensure your film has been submitted properly and is under consideration.
