About Sydney Film Festival
Sydney Film Festival screens feature films, documentaries, short films and animations across
the city at the State Theatre, GU George Street Cinemas, Dendy Opera Quays and the Art
Gallery of NSW. The festival is a major event on the New South Wales cultural calendar and
is one of the world’s longest running film festivals. In 2008, SFF introduced the Official
Competition, a FIAPF-accredited competition for ‘new directions in film’, which rewards
courageous and audacious filmmaking. The Official Competition is supported by Events NSW
and the $60,000 cash prize is provided by Hunter Hall Investment Management. Celebrated
Australian filmmaker Rolf de Heer heads up the 2009 jury of three international and two
Australian industry figures.
The 56th Sydney Film Festival spools from Wednesday 3 June – Sunday 14 June 2009.
Stills from films in SFF 2009 are available for media in the festivals and awards folder at
FlexiPasses are on sale now, and single session tickets are now available. All tickets are
