Sydney Film Festival "Together in the dark we share our stories"

I love the Sydney Film Festival. This year was its 60th birthday. Over the past 9 days, I saw 13 feature drama films; 3 classics; 6 documentary features; 4 short documentaries. Can't wait til next year.

The winner of the jury prize was Two Days, One Night, directed by Jean-Pierre et Luc Dardenne

Diving into the Sydney Festival

The Sydney Festival is an annual arts event held each January. It features all sorts of performing and visual arts events, talks and film.

We attended a show at the Parramatta Riverside theatre.

These cute stencils were along the footpaths, and I thought the diving swimmer one was rather appropriate for me.
