ABOUT SYDNEY FILM & SCREENPLAY FESTIVAL
At the Sydney Film & Screenplay Festival, we are of the opinion that storytelling is diversely serene and cinema is beautiful. We think it's high time that contemporary experimental storytellers and artists got their due recognition. Through this festival, we want to rekindle a love of movies that have been lost somewhere because of commercialisation.
The festival aims to cross borders in order to foster a sense of friendship and collaboration with international film festivals and filmmakers.
Films that tell the stories of people from all over the world are shown at the Sydney Film & Screenplay Festival. This is a competition for independent films and screenplays with quarterly screenings. All organizations, agencies, independent producers, and directors can enter the Sydney Film & Screenplay Festival with the goal of motivating, inspiring, and honouring the truly innovative and artistic geniuses of our time. Every independent artist aspires to one day break out of the geographic barriers and show the world their skills. We sincerely hope that the showcase platform we provide will facilitate that aspiration. We're eager to show a great many works of all kinds that will have industry experts, producers, and filmgoers humming.
Our goal is to support independently created films, help screenplay writers pitch their projects and push the boundaries of commercial distribution, and present their imaginative works that dare to provoke heated debate and defy audience expectations.
