The 2016 Festival will open with the world premiere of Goldstone, a stylish and intelligent outback noir from acclaimed Indigenous writer-director Ivan Sen. Goldstone’s stellar Australian cast includes Aaron Pedersen, Jacki Weaver, David Wenham, and David Gulpilil.
NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for the Arts Troy Grant said "The NSW Government is proud to continue its support for this amazing festival; a key event that has cemented itself in Sydney’s winter entertainment calendar.
“I’m extremely pleased that these films will be seen by more and more people in regional NSW, as the Festival goes on its regional tour later this year.”
Sydney Film Festival Director Nashen Moodley said the Festival’s attendances had increased by over 59% to 176,000 since 2011.
“The Festival allows audiences to explore new worlds, new perspectives and new ways of being,” Mr Moodley said.
“An exposure to unfamiliar places and ways of life is enlightening, and not only does it spark a change in our view but our whole world.
“This year we celebrate film’s ability to inspire new ideas and encourage new experiences.”
