2021 was an immensely unconventional year for entertainment: from concerts and cinema to large festival events. SXSW 2021 was no exception to the necessity to improvise around an established in a new, remote format. Although nothing can fully match the experience of large crowds and the movement of a festival atmosphere, SXSW created a simple app and website driven experience that allowed for compartmentalized viewing of the festival’s events. This interface removed a lot of the chance occurrences that would happen at the physical festival but also allowed for convenient viewing and an easier ability to see everything one might want to.

As writer Elie Wiesel once said, “Even in darkness it is possible to create light.” There is no better story to prove this than what occurred in Gander, Newfoundland, in the week following September 11th, 2001. Opening Tuesday at the Hobby Center, Come From Away presents how the townspeople of Gander came together when 7,000 travelers were stranded by the closure of the American airspace. While addressing such subject matter can be depressing, Come From Away focuses on the relationships formed and the countless selfless acts performed throughout the week.
