The 71st Sydney Film Festival wrapped up on Sunday with the official Closing Night Gala and Award Ceremony, concluding a program of 197 films from 69 countries, including 28 World Premieres and 133 Australian Premieres.
Director Nashen Moodley said it had been “another resoundingly successful year for the festival”.
“It was heart-warming to see thousands of film fans finding warmth and comfort in our many screenings, coming together to experience the very best cinema from around the globe,” he said.
“Over the past 12 days, we have shared excitement, gasped at unexpected jump scares, discovered new insights about distant places, and celebrated the talents of incredible filmmakers who continue to share vital, moving stories.”
