As the capital of Texas, Austin has become an arts powerhouse, anchored by the SXSW Film Festival. As the largest state capital in the United States, Austin prides itself on its outstanding food, great live music and general, friendly culture or as they like to put it, their general weirdness. The city’s slogan proudly boasts, “Keep Austin Weird!”
And now it will also serve as host for The GO Independent International Film Festival – AUSTIN! In October 2021 the GO Independent series of film festivals, as part of the FAME Family, will have a home in the lone star state! Our goal is to give more opportunities for independent filmmakers and screenwriters to showcase and promote their art.
Audiences and Artists can experience the subtropical, sunny weather, while discovering how the city earned its reputation for being home to the best barbeque joints in the country and a shopaholic’s paradise. Before and after screening films, networking, and enjoying the festival atmosphere, GO on your own adventure in the city built on music!
GO Independent Film! GO Austin!
