SXSW, arguably the next big stop on the festival circuit after Sundance, closed out its 2010 edition Sunday, with its audience awards announced Monday. We previously reported on the jury awards and initial batch of audience awards here. Elsewhere in festival land, the Tribeca Film Institute announced its 2010 Tribeca All Access Program Projects, which include nine documentaries. The program was created to cultivate relationships between filmmakers from traditionally underrepresented communities and film industry executives. Tribeca will present the projects throughout a six-day program taking place during the Tribeca Film Festival. Other festivals reporting kudos include the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival, the Festival International du Film des Droits de l'Homme in Paris, Miami International Film Festival and the European Independent Film Festival
