  • Sydney Film Festival Is Back 10-21 June 27/05/2020
    MEDIA RELEASE: EMBARGOED 1AM, WEDNESDAY 27 MAY 2020 SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL IS BACK 10-21 JUNE 2020 The 67th Sydney Film Festival: Virtual Edition and Awards program was officially launched today by Sydney Film Festival Director Nashen Moodley. “Since the 66th Sydney Film Festival in 2019, everything and nothing has changed. We aren’t together in a dark cinema sharing new ideas and worlds – but film is still where we look for them. So, Sydney Film Festival is back this year with a virtual program available to all homes across Australia. “This year’s special 67th Sydney Film Festival: Virtual Edition and Awards presents a distilled essence of Sydney Film Festival, where audiences can not only watch mind-boggling films but support the filmmakers who’ve made them,” said Nashen Moodley. "SFF has always been about community and dreaming together through film.” All films will screen with bonus material exclusively filmed for SFF, including filmmaker introductions and the screening, followed by question and answer sessions. Support for the Virtual Edition came from filmmakers past and present – from Bryan Brown to RJ Mitte to Nicole Kidman, all saying ‘Being part of Sydney Film Festival means a lot’. “The Festival presents Australian stories from a kaleidoscope of perspectives in three strands. From remote Western Australia - a snapshot of Australia's only entirely-Indigenous police station, to Antarctica, where we journey with women in STEM leadership; the Documentary Australia Foundation Award for Best Australian Documentary comprises 10 outstanding feature length Australian stories that are surprising, compelling, heart-warming and brilliant. “The Dendy Awards for Australian Short Films is a short film springboard that has kick-started the careers of many prominent filmmakers including Warwick Thornton, Ariel Kleiman, Cate Shortland, Jane Campion, Phillip Noyce and Ivan Sen.
