Before SXSW was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, Mary Duong and Rachel Anderson’s short-form docuseries Bananas was due to screen in the festival’s Episodic Pilot Competition.
After a heartwarming response to the series on Sbs On Demand, the Queensland filmmakers had been excited to increase their global reach. The cancellation was gutting – no less so because Duong was already in the Us. It threw plans for the foreseeable future into the air.
However, for at least the next month, Bananas will stream for free globally on Vimeo as part of a special showcase of works from the SXSW Episodic Competition. Also included are comedies Bored, Cooper’s Bar, The Dream and This Isn’t Me, and documentary Homecoming: The Journey of Cardboard. On April 23, there will be a virtual Q&a with all the creators.
