Short Films

SXSW London welcomes short films—up to 30 minutes in length, including credits—across drama, animation, documentary and artists' films, regardless of production technique, form or budget.

Projects must be completed after 1 December 2023 and should not be available for streaming online in the UK (whether free or via an on-demand service) prior to SXSW London 2025.

Music Videos

We welcome music videos of all genres and styles, with no restrictions on length. The project must be the official music video for the song, and its creation must be approved by the artist or label.

Projects must be completed in 2023, 2024 or scheduled for completion by March 2025, and they may have already premiered online prior to the festival.
