SXSW’s featured sessions include a conversation about mental health between Olympian Alexi Pappas and actor Bill Hader; a fireside chat with Joe and Anthony Russo and Elizabeth Banks; and a talk about documentary series Secrets of the Whales with director James Cameron and National Geographic explorer Brian Skerry.
Other people who will appear no panels during the festival include digital creator David Dobrik, late night hosts Samantha Bee and Amber Ruffin and Big Hit Entertainment CEO Lenzo Yoon.
“We’re truly excited about the remarkable range of creative talent and innovators that we’ve announced today as part of SXSW Online,” said SXSW chief programming officer Hugh Forrest. “In the 30 plus years of SXSW, we’ve showcased so many incredible voices who have shown tremendous courage and leadership, which is why we’re excited to add Nobel Peace Prize nominee Stacey Abrams as a keynote for 2021. Moreover, her conversation with science fiction writer N.K. Jemisin taps into the kind of creative energy that only happens at SXSW.”
