In a 10-day event, the e-commerce giant’s streaming platform, Prime Video, will host a virtual version of the SXSW Film Festival. The films will be free to watch for everyone — no Prime account necessary. The Verge reports that the films will not be owned by Amazon, and that the filmmakers will be paid a screening fee.
Filmmakers were able to opt in starting Thursday, April 2. The exact dates for the festival have yet to be announced, but it will likely be sometime in late April.
