At this point, A24 is a festival staple. After debuting four films at Sundance earlier this year, the renown independent production company is bringing more films to the SXSW Film & TV Festival for 2024. The A24 slate for SXSW 2024 shows the depth of the production slate from horror to drama and an imagining of what a new American Civil War looks like. Audiences will see the world premieres of two films and get the chance to catch two that they have missed at other festivals.
