Sydney Film Festival celebrates its 60th anniversary 5-16 June 2013

Sydney Film Festival celebrates its 60th anniversary this 5-16 June bringing a packed program of screenings and special events to even more venues across our great city.

As well as screening around 150 films across 12 days and nights; a series of red carpet galas, talks and forums; and soon-to-be-announced international guests; Sydney Film Festival 2013 will present an extended program of free events at the ‘Sydney Film Festival Hub’ at Lower Town Hall, even more screenings at the heritage-listed State Theatre and Event Cinemas George Street and return to the opulent Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace on the city’s North Shore after a near 30-year absence.

To mark this historic 60th year of the Festival’s history, Sydney Film Festival will launch a comprehensive interactive eBook on 27 March. This free, living resource will be packed with original research, criticism and essays about the history of SFF and its role in the development of local art and culture, and gives users the ability to learn more about this prestigious Australian festival.
