No Film School:

Thanks to Oscilloscope and Mailchimp Presents, these SXSW 2020 official short film selections have been given new life.

The indie film community suffered a major blow after the cancelation of SXSW 2020. Hundreds of filmmakers, who worked so hard to get into one of the biggest film festivals in the world, wouldn’t see their films screened thanks to the COVID-19 crisis.

However, Oscilloscope Laboratories and Mailchimp have partnered with SXSW to give official short film selections “a digital home”, allowing anyone with an internet connection and a love of cinema to watch them for free online.

Personally, I’m all in favour of SXSW being canceled but it does hurt the indie filmmakers. If you’ve got the time (and who doesn’t now?), you might find a few cinematic gems in here.
