The 68th Sydney Film Festival Closing Night Gala Awards were presented on Sunday night, 14 November at the State Theatre, just before the Australian premiere screening of Wes Anderson’s highly anticipated comedy-drama The French Dispatch.
This follows the film’s International Premiere in May at Canada’s Hot Docs Festival where Screen Daily listed it as ‘one of the 15 docs to look out for this year’, its award for Best Music Doc at London’s Raindance Festival in October, and a nomination for Best Australian Documentary at this year’s AACTA Awards ahead of a 6 January cinema release in Australia.
