What’s on in Sydney New South Wales – Sydney Film Festival

The Sydney Film Festival is one of the longest-running events of its kind in the world. Every year the festival brings the best new films from around the world to audiences right here in Sydney. As well as brand new features from over 40 countries, we screen short films, Australian films, documentaries and archive titles, many of which are recently restored.

The festival hosts a number of awards to recognize excellence in filmmaking, including the Dendy Awards for Australian Short Films, (which are Academy Award-eligible), the FOXTEL Australian Documentary Awards and the Official Competition, which celebrates ‘courageous and audacious filmmaking.

Make sure not to miss This Is England ’86 A TV spin-off of Shane Meadows’ acclaimed film This Is England; The Trip, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon play semi-fictional (and very funny) versions of themselves on tour in England’s Lake District; The Arbor, an entrancing, wonderfully inventive portrait of the short life and enduring legacy of working-class British playwright Andrea Dunbar; and Tyrannosaur, Actor Paddy Considine makes his directorial debut with this intense drama about a lonely man with a violent streak.
