Austin cancels SXSW out of coronavirus fears, devastating to some indie filmmakers
City and county officials in Austin, Texas cancelled the
South by Southwest film festival (which also includes music festivals), and now
the SXSW reports that insurance does not cover city cancellation because of
communicable disease outbreak (or fear of one); it does cover other natural
disasters and probably terrorism.
The Austin Chronicle reports in an article by Kevin Curtin
CDC is probably more interested in seeing large events
canceled than small things like protests, ordinary movie performances, and the
like. The Travel show in Washington DC
was held as expected today. Outdoor events would not seem to raise the same
level of concern.
