Moody College @ SXSW 2019
South by Southwest represents the dynamic possibility when creativity, diversity and ingenuity collide. Since its first event in 1987, SXSW has grown from a charming showcase of Austin’s talent and culture to a worldwide destination for all things media, entertainment and technology.
Moody College aligns with SXSW’s unique opportunity for community convergence and annually seeks to engage across all platforms.
PJ Raval highlights Moody College’s involvement in 2019. The Radio-Television-Film associate professor will deliver the film keynote on Sunday, March 10. Raval, who was also recently named a Creative Ambassador for the City of Austin, has received numerous accolades for his documentary film, “Call Her Ganda,” which is set for wide release later this summer.
Additionally, the UT Radio-Television-Film Longhorn Denius Student Showcase screens as part of the SXSW Film Festival. The showcase highlights a rich diversity of recent fiction and documentary student films.
The film festival lineup features many filmmakers with Moody College connections. Please read more about their involvement.
