Sydney Film Festival today announced that its 68th edition will take place 18– 29 August 2021.

The shift will allow the Festival to continue to include films from major international festivals (in addition to Australia’s best new feature films and documentaries) in a year of date fluctuations around the world due to COVID-19.

In August, Sydney Film Festival will return to familiar cinemas across Sydney so audiences can once more explore our times through the medium of film.

Submissions for the Festival are currently being accepted through FilmFreeway and will now close on Friday, 26 March 2021.
