Heya peeps!

We’ve got a couple of changes for CWP this month, firstly, something new and exciting… we’ve got a Tarot reader coming on board! More deets to come.

Secondly, sadly I must announced that our lovely French-crepe-lady, Stef, had called it a day. However, in her place will be out brand new Burger Bitch – Geri! Hurrah! She will be providing: “A selection of outdoor BBQ’d burgers. Selection for meat eaters, vegetarians and vagatarians. Wrap your lips around a tasty burger.”

Everything else is as usual, $10 jugs, awesome ladies, comfy couches, and only $5!

Sydney Film Festival has announced a cross-section of films in the lead-up to taking over the city’s silver screens from Wednesday June 8 to Sunday June 19.

Festival Director Clare Stewart relishes Sydney Film Festival’s role in championing ‘new directions in film’: “Our award criteria encourages the world’s filmmakers to be bold, adventurous risk-takers; to strive for the unique and the unexpected. Our annual search for international excellence uncovers some exceptional cinema and we can’t wait to show Sydney-siders in June.”

Among the first films to confirm a place in the festival is:

All About Love

Director: Ann Hui | Starring: Sandra Ng, Vivian Chow, Eddie Cheung | Hong Kong

Queer Hong Kong gets a mainstream makeover in Ann Hui’s sparkling romantic comedy, which features more relationship permutations than an episode of Modern Family. Bisexual Macy (Sandra Ng) is a free-spirited lawyer who reignites a relationship with Anita (Vivian Chow) when they meet at pre-natal yoga class – both of them accidentally pregnant from incidental affairs.

Australian Premiere
