The Sydney Film Festival is once again upon us, and 2014’s slate is as tantalising as any that has come before. This, of course, means our editorial team will be occupied skittering from darkened cinema to darkened cinema, up all night scribbling reviews, and frantically posting them each morning for the pleasure of those unable […]

Sydney Film Festival – Day Seven. By Simon Miraudo. [The following conversation took place sometime between 10pm and 12am on the seventh day of the 2011 Sydney Film Festival, on a flight headed from Sydney to Perth. It is almost entirely verbatim]. ————————————————————— “Is that you personal computer?” “This? No, no, just an iPad.” “It’s so […]

Sydney Film Festival – Day Six. By Simon Miraudo. “It goes so fast!” That’s what old people always say, isn’t it? “It goes so fast! How can it be over? It just began!” Of course, they’re referring to their entire lives, and I’m speaking of my less significant (yet equally epic) time here at the […]

Sydney Film Festival – Day Two. By Simon Miraudo. I take no pleasure in telling you that I got lost on the way to a screening of Sykt Lykkelig’s Norwegian comedy Happy Happy. So lost, in fact, I actually missed out on seeing the film altogether. Set to begin 6pm at Event Cinemas, I left the […]

Sydney Film Festival – Day One. By Simon Miraudo. “Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world.” It’s a tale as old as time itself, or at least since Journey released Don’t Stop Believing in 1981. Replace ‘girl’ with boy, ‘small town’ with Perth, and ‘world’ with Sydney, and you have an idea […]
