Our most anticipated films of SXSW 2026 The films we're looking forward to at SXSW 2026 include a Japanese ghost story, the Dean Of American Rock Critics, and a Cornbread Mafia.

"The Les Blank-like documentary Ceremony dives into the Nuxalk community, observing their relationship to the fatty, dwindling candlefish—or ooligan—with an immersive and quiet intensity that begins to blur the line between place and people."

Ceremony At ramshackle Nuxalk Radio in Bella Coola, an inquiry into the vanished ooligan run unravels a buried history of erasure and ignites the quiet revolution of a Nation that refuses to disappear.
