Here are 10 of the best short films from the 2020 SXSW festival that never was.
Despite this year’s SXSW being canceled due to COVID-19, the Austin-based festival has found a way to share some of its films with the public, making the majority of the shorts program available online for free starting on Wednesday, March 25.
“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,” as per a program description on the Mailchimp Presents: SXSW 2020 Shorts website. Despite the festival’s cancellation, SXSW released a list of its 2020 honorees, including Cooper Raiff’sAn Elephant in the Roomfor narrative shorts and Carol Nguyen’sSXSW’s shorts program is a vivid collection of stories, from “Quilt Forever,” a documentary that explores what is described as “the Academy Awards of quilting” to “Slug Finger,” an animated film about “the unusual story of a girl whose finger transforms into a slug.
The plot of Lily Shaul’s not-so-deceptively-named “Slug Finger” revolves around a woman who trips and falls on the concrete, and accidentally touches a small slug, which makes her finger turn into the slimy, pink and green creature: antennas and all. Short, simple and visceral, Shaul communicates the woman’s journey evocatively, via hand-drawn animation, clean, minimalist lines and a bright color palette.
