Watch the SXSW 2020 Official Short Film Selections Online for Free

Gandbhir's "Call Center Blues"

SXSW 2020 lives on. The 27th edition of SXSW Film Festival was cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns, but some of the Austin fest’s programming has found a second life. Mailchimp and Oscilloscope have teamed up to create a digital home for the fest’s official short films selection. “While we can’t replace the camaraderie of the SXSW festival, watching these films is a way to support the artists you love and connect to the world around you, during a time when we could all use a little more connection,” said Mailchimp and Oscilloscope.

Titles available to stream include Geeta Gandbhir’s “Call Center Blues” and Nicole Bazuin’s “Modern Whore.” The former is a portrait of U.S. deportees and their loved ones struggling to rebuild their lives in Tijuana, Mexico, and the latter is based on activist and author Andrea Werhun’s life and experiences as a sex worker in Toronto.

Head over to Mailchimp to see SXSW’s short films selections.

You can check out our SXSW preview to learn more about some of the features we were most looking forward to seeing at the fest, including award winners “The Donut King,” Alice Gu’s portrait of a Cambodian refugee who launched a donut empire, and Katrine Philp’s “An Elephant in the Room,” a look inside Good Grief, a New Jersey-based non-profit where children attend play and group sessions addressing how to cope and live with the loss of a loved one.
