    AUSTIN, Texas (AP) --

    After canceling its 2020 edition and going virtual last year during the pandemic, the 2022 SXSW Film Festival  will kick off with the premiere of the sci-fi adventure "Everything Everywhere all at Once." 

    SXSW announced Wednesday that its in-person Austin, Texas, festival will begin March 11 with the new film from directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the "Swiss Army Man" filmmakers collectively billed as "Daniels." The film, starring Michelle Yeoh, is described as "a hilarious and big-hearted sci-fi action adventure about an exhausted Chinese American woman who can't seem to finish her taxes."

    Janet Pierson, director of film for SXSW, called the film "fantastically inventive, entertaining, emotionally grounded, and crammed with the exceptional creativity." 

    "Audiences are going to have their minds blown by this extraordinary feat of filmmaking," said Pierson in a statement.

    A24 is to release "Everything Everywhere All at Once," whose producers include Joe and Anthony Russo. It also stars Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, James Hong, Jenny Slate, Harry Shum Jr., and Jamie Lee Curtis. 

    The SXSW Film Festival will run March 11 through 20. A selection of films will be available online to badge holders.

    Beyoncé’s Halftime Show Highlighted Netflix’s NFL Debut On Xmas Day

    Wednesday, December 25, 2024

    Beyoncé provided more excitement than either game during Netflix's NFL debut on Christmas Day.

    Riding into her halftime appearance on a white horse, the 32-time Grammy winner rocked her hometown Houston crowd with a nearly 13-minute performance on Wednesday.

    She surprised fans by bringing along Shaboozey to perform "Sweet Honey Buckiin" and Post Malone joined her for "Levii's Jeans."

    The action on the field didn't live up to expectations as the NFL showcased four of the AFC's top five teams.

    Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce exposed a glitch in Pittsburgh's defense during Kansas City's 29-10 rout in the first game.

    The broadcast itself went off just fine, quickly becoming the second-most popular live title on Netflix to date, according to NFL Media.

    Lamar Jackson and the Ravens led C.J. Stroud and the Texans to 17-2 at halftime before Beyoncé stole the show.

    Mariah Carey opened Wednesday's doubleheader with a taped performance of "All I Want for Christmas is You" and then the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs trounced the Steelers to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

    There were no signs of any major streaming issues during the game after Netflix experienced minor blunders at the start of the pregame show. The broadcast opened with roughly 10 seconds of silence because it appeared studio host Kay Adams' microphone wasn't turned on.

    Beyoncé's live performance at NRG Stadium was supposed to be the biggest test for the streaming giant and it seemed to go off without a hitch.

    Mahomes threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns and Kelce had eight catches for 84 yards and one score as the Chiefs (15-1) earned a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The... Read More
