For the first time in its 67-year history, the Sydney Film Festival will go virtual. Or, at least part of it.
The annual festival, which was scheduled to run from June 3-14, was cancelled on March 18 following bans on gatherings of more than 500 people. But organisers hinted at a make-up version that would "celebrate film and filmmakers".
Compared to the usual SFF program of more than 300 films across 12 days, audience-voted prizes and filmmaker Q&As, the virtual instalment is a concession. But a necessary one at such a challenging time for the local industry, said Small., which is a great opportunity for audiences. Now we see our revision as something that really supports our local filmmakers, which is extremely important to the Sydney Film Festival.
The full program for the 67th Sydney Film Festival: Virtual Edition and Awards will be revealed on May 27, with tickets on sale the same day.

Health authorities investigating possible infection control breaches at Sydney nursing homeAnglicare's chief executive says the organisation will raise the possibility of extracting residents from its western Sydney aged care home at the centre of a COVID-19 cluster with those living inside the facility.

Boris Johnson reveals he needed 'litres and litres of oxygen' in hospitalDoctors treating Boris Johnson for coronavirus prepared to announce his death after he was taken to intensive care, the British prime minister said on Sunday, in his first detailed comments about his illness. I hope they have charged him 2000 pounds a litter. A bit melodramatic..... “prepared to announce his death”.... He was on oxygen. He did not need to be ventilated, not placed on ECMO. I’ve no doubt he was quite unwell, but question the life & death spin the media is placing on this. Herd immunity !
