Best of the Fest: 6 Best Films We Saw at SXSW 2022
In a massive undertaking, I managed to screen about 40 films and tv shows within 5 days. Luckily it was all virtual. It was a rewarding but exhausting experience. The South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival had over 100+ films, shorts, documentaries, and pilot episodes available both in person and online in 2022. And even with 10 days of festivities, watching them all is a downright impossible. I am personally proud to say that I was able to make a sizable dent in what was available, and had the pleasure of being able to watch some incredible films. So let’s take a look at some of the best films from SXSW that I was able to check out!
Please note that headliners were not available to be screened virtually, so high profile releases like “The Enormous Weight of Massive Talent,” “Bodies Bodies Bodies,” “X” and “Everything Everywhere All At Once” I was unable to view. I’m sure if I did they would’ve made the best list, as I’ve heard nothing but great things about all of them from everyone coming out of Austin, Texas where the festival was held. So as always, I am only able to include the films I was actually able to watch.
Let’s get into the best films I watched at SXSW!
