Please keep in mind, these deadlines are now on a RECEIVED BY basis, (NOT based on a postmark date). In other words, all 2012 film submissions must arrive at the SXSW offices in Austin no later than November 15, 2011.

ALL Music Video and Texas high school submissions MUST be submitted to SXSW by URL link to an online version of your film on an external site (i.e. your own website, YouTube HD, Vimeo, etc.) and you will be asked to provide that URL as part of your application. If this URL requires the use of login information to access the film, you will be asked to provide that as well.

The full SXSW 2012 lineup announcement will remain the same, in early February 2012.

Check sxsw.com/film for updates, and for more information on the updated deadlines, consult this blog post.
