In a media statement, festival director Nashen Moodley said that the Sydney Film Festival ‘looks forward to returning to cinemas for a COVID-safe event in November, when we’ll come together to celebrate the films we love, in person.’

While Sydney Film Festival ran a successful online festival amid the lockdowns of 2020, exceeding the audience numbers they would have anticipated for a physical festival, there have been no online programs announced for 2021.
