Sydney Film Festival – Help keep the festival alight

The 66th Sydney Film Festival – 5-16 June 2019

Sydney Film Festival is asking festival-goers to pitch in a little extra this year, by adding a donation to their festival purchases. Festival ticket sales cover less than 30% of the true costs of the Festival. After government and corporate partner support towards this shortfall, it is people-power that helps make up the difference.

Some of Sydney’s best film talent at Animal Logic and Sonar Music have joined creative forces to bring the Festival message to audiences with this beautiful animated story, narrated by Rachel Ward. All have donated 100% of their time, creative input and technical skills, as their way of saying how important the Festival is to the film industry. We would like to thank David Scott and Amber Naismith and the Animal Logic team for their creative concept, direction and production; Antony Partos and the Sonar Music team for the original music; SFF Honorary Patron Rachel Ward AM for her narration, and Soundfirm for the use of their recording studios.
We hope you will be inspired by their example to add a donation at checkout when buying your tickets, or to get more involved as a Director’s Patron.
