The 69th Sydney Film Festival program was officially launched today by Festival Director Nashen Moodley, who said it was a ‘joy’ to return to the Festival’s traditional June dates and welcome back international filmmaker to present their films.
Australian features enjoying their world premiere at the Festival include 6 Festivals, Macario De Souza’s
emotional tale of friendship and a celebration of Australia’s iconic festival scene; Evicted! A Modern Romance, an irreverent Aussie comedy about four spuriously employed housemates on the verge of eviction as they trawl Sydney’s fraught rental market; and The Longest Weekend, a true indie from Sydney’s Inner West in which three siblings reunite, feud and reunite again, featuring an ensemble cast, including screen veterans Tammy MacIntosh and John Batchelor.
