SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL 2014

The 61st Sydney Film Festival kicked off on Wednesday, with the Opening Night Gala held at Sydney’s State Theatre. Those lucky enough to attend enjoyed 20,000 Days on Earth, the Opening Night film about international cultural identity Nick Cave.

Sydney Film Festival this year is part of Vivid Ideas 2014, and is a highlight of Sydney’s arts calendar and an important pillar in Sydney’s recognition as a UNESCO City of Film.

The 61st Sydney Film Festival will feature 183 titles from 47 countries and includes 15 World Premieres (including six World Premiere short films), 122 Australian Premieres (including 14 Australian Premiere short films) and six International Premieres (including one International Premiere short film).

Sydney Film Festival will screen in even more venues this year including the State Theatre, Event Cinemas George Street, Dendy Opera Quays, the Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace Cremorne, Art Gallery of NSW and, new in 2014, the Skyline Drive-In Blacktown, with a special 40th anniversary screening of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre on Friday the 13th June.

The Sydney Film Festival Hub returns to Town Hall for a third year with a packed program of talks, exhibitions, live performances and over 25 free events. Open until midnight for 11 days from 5 - 15 June. The Hub is situated within a short stroll of most Festival venues, and is the perfect meeting place for film lovers to relax, mingle and be entertained.
