From Wednesday 5 June to Sunday 16 June, the 71st Sydney Film Festival (SFF) returns, offering 12 days and nights of the finest cinema from Australia and the world.

Sydney Film Festival Director Nashen Moodley said, “As we usher in the 71st edition of the Sydney Film Festival, we are promising another vibrant showcase of the very best in contemporary cinema from Australia and across the globe; presenting films that captivate, challenge, and inspire audiences here in Sydney.”

“We warmly invite film enthusiasts to join us this June for a celebration of cinema that challenges, entertains, and inspires. We look forward to sharing a diverse and thought-provoking program, pushing the boundaries of cinematic achievement,” he added.

Films will screen alongside a series of public program talks and events that will enhance the Festival experience. Both local and international guests will attend the Festival and audiences will once again be able to share in all the magic of red carpet premieres, filmmaker conversations and more.

The first titles in this year’s 71st SFF program will be announced in April, and audiences can expect the full Festival program to be revealed in May.

The Festival takes place across Greater Sydney: at State Theatre, Event Cinemas George Street, Dendy Cinemas Newtown, Randwick Ritz, Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace Cremorne, Palace Cinemas Central and Norton Street, Art Gallery of NSW, Casula Powerhouse, the Festival Hub at Sydney Town Hall and SFFTV in Martin Place.
