2020 South by Southwest Film Festival will open with Judd Apatow's 'King of Staten Island,' starring Pete Davidson. Spike Jonze's 'Beastie Boys Story' is among the other premieres.
After a standout 2019 that saw the world premieres of major studio hit “Us” and breakout indie “The Peanut Butter Falcon,” among others, the South by Southwest Film Festival’s 2020 edition will be headlined by such boldface names as Judd Apatow, Kumail Nanjiani, Tiffany Haddish and Spike Jonze.
In a statement, Apatow said, “I am excited to return to SXSW. In fact I just made this movie so I had a reason to return to SXSW.” “When you think of Judd Apatow, you’re thinking it’s going to be funny, it’s going to be loose,” Pierson said, “and this film just ripped our hearts out. There’s something raw about it and, yes, there’s humor but it’s tender.
This year’s announcement listed 103 feature films and episodic projects, with more titles to come in an additional release on Feb. 5. More than 2,300 feature-length films were submitted to the festival this year. Prolific documentarian Alex Gibney will world premiere “Crazy, Not Insane,” a look at a psychiatrist who has spent her career examining violent people. “A Secret Love,” directed by Chris Bolan, is a look at the triumphant love story between two women as they come out to their conservative families and face the difficulties of aging. Frank Oz will premiere his new film, “In & Of Itself,” about storyteller and conceptual magician Derek DelGaudio.
