Sydney Film Festival


Fancy spending two weeks in the dark? Sydney Film Festival began on the weekend. Many of the screenings are at the beautiful, elaborate 78 year old State Theatre. This is a glimpse at the foyer and box office.

  1. Oooh, that's lovely! At least if the films turn out to be terrible, you can step outside for a nicer visual treat!

  2. Thank goodness some sense prevailed when they were demolishing the old theatre in Sydney. It is a unique theatre. Are you going to the festival?

    What a superb interior, it must make the experience that much more enjoyable.

  5. I just love this theatre, a real Goth-movie sort of a place. Just SO over the top.

    Are you going to see any movies?

  6. I really wish I were, Nathalie. But too much work, and I don't get to go out much at night.

    One year I keep promising myself to take leave around both writers' and film festivals, but somehow it's always busy in may/june (state and federal budgets to analyse and stuff)

  8. In Wroclaw in July there'llbe a film festivall as well. There isn't normal festival, but it's called "New Horizon Festival". There're shown a new, experimental films, some underground films, indepentents directors and film's of directors like von Trier, Lych and many more.
    It's a really big and important festivall here.

  9. It is an amazing photograph showing how much money had been made off the world of film. Just imagine the people who owned the film and the distribution rights to it.

    Nice shot.

    I have 1 baby raccoon today and a pile of poop!

  10. I couldn'tget my eyes of the ceiling. Amazing place. And they did this kind of work only 78 years ago. How fast our standards have gone down.
