Sydney Film Festival 2015: The Top 15 Picks
"Sydney Film Festival has gone from strength to strength over recent years, with attendances increasing over 42% since 2011 to 156,000," said Sydney Film Festival Director Nashen Moodley. "Through the Festival, audiences, critics, creators and curators alike experience new countries, cultures, and perspectives, together. In so many ways, we are made of movies; we've grown up through cinema, come to know ourselves, our community and other communities; and the Festival celebrates these contributions to our collective culture."
The Opening Night Film will be Ruben Guthrie, Brendan Cowell's adaptation of his hit play and Closing Night Film will be Neil Armfield's Holding the Man, starring Ryan Corr, Anthony LaPaglia, Guy Pearce, and Sarah Snook.
