Sydney Film Festival
SFF Festival Director Nashen Moodley has just returned from the Venice and Toronto International Film Festivals making the first selections for the 2025 Festival! You too can plan ahead for next year: the 72nd Sydney Film Festival is on from 1-15 June 2025 and Flexipasses are already on sale.
The great advantage of holding a Flexipass is that SFF is planning some exciting special screenings later in the year, and the Flexipass gives you access to priority booking windows and discounts!
