From 6th - 17th June 2012, Sydney Film Festival will showcase the best in cinema from across Australia and around the world, including features, documentaries, short films, retrospectives, restorations, animation and more.

The Sydney Film Festival programming team gathers an amazing selection from the world's great film festivals, including Cannes, Sundance and the Berlinale, brings them back home to add to our finest local productions, creating a packed program of more than 250 screenings for patrons to choose from.

Highlights also include the much-anticipated announcement of the twelve films that vie for the Official Competition; a highly respected international honour that awards a $60,000.00 cash prize based on the decision of a jury of international and Australian filmmakers and industry professionals.

Travelling way beyond the mainstream, there really will be something for all tastes and interests to select from, with many ways for patrons to map their own Film Festival adventure from a single ticket to a full subscription and all points between.
