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.
