Sydney Film Festival 2009

This year is the 56th Sydney Film Festival, making it one of the longest running events of its kind in the world.

Each year the festival brings the best new films from around the world to audience’s right here in Sydney. As well as brand new features from over forty 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 recognise excellence in filmmaking, including the Dendy Awards for Australian Short Films, (which are Academy Award eligible!) and the Official Competition, which celebrates ‘courageous and audacious filmmaking’.

The Sydney Film Festival runs until the 14th June 2009. Do yourself a favour and catch a film!
