Summer’s lease has ended, and as the cooler months set in, the announcement of the 72nd Sydney Film Festival (SFF) reminds us that winter is coming.
SFF 2025 runs from Wednesday 4 June to Sunday 15 June, bringing world-class cinema to venues across Sydney, including the State Theatre, Event Cinemas George Street, Dendy Newtown, The Ritz Randwick, the Hayden Orpheum, Palace Cinemas, the Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney Town Hall, and more—including SFFTV in Martin Place.
“As we look ahead to the 72nd Sydney Film Festival, we are thrilled to once again offer dynamic big-screen experiences that showcase the very best in contemporary cinema, both from Australia and across the globe,” said Festival Director Nashen Moodley via a press release. “Our aim is to present films that captivate, inspire, and resonate deeply with audiences here in Sydney.”
It’s too early for film announcements, but the first titles drop in April, with the full program revealed on Wednesday 7 May.
Last year, we caught 35 films across various venues, including I Saw the TV Glow, All We Imagine As Light, the divisive Megalopolis, and the underrated gem Eephus—all among our top picks of the year. What discoveries await us in 2025?
