The news was announced this morning at Dendy Opera Quays in Sydney.
Two films shot in Sydney, Lebanese drama Cedar Boys and Tribeca entrant Accidents Happen, are also in the festival.
Restored classic Wake in Fright will also screen, following its triumphant return to the Cannes Film Festival. The film's director Ted Kotcheff is a guest of the festival.
