SXSW has announced the Opening Night Film for the 2026 SXSW Film & TV Festival.
The festival’s film arm is officially kicking things off with a headline screening that will set the tone for the year’s slate — expect a red-carpet premiere, a post‑screening conversation with the filmmakers, and the kind of industry-packed Q&A that makes SXSW’s opening night one of the calendar’s must-see festival events.
Full details, including the film title, special guests, and ticket information, are available on SXSW’s official site. We’ll be watching the lineup as it drops and will pass along all the highlights and must-see screenings for attendees and passholders.
Keep it locked to the Festival Wire for updates and practical info for getting to the premiere in Austin.
