“The launch of SXSW Sydney, which is scheduled to run during our traditional festival dates, coupled with our successful experience of hosting Antenna in February 2022, led us to believe that changing the dates would better serve our audience and our partners” said Festival Director David Rokach
The Festival remains committed to highlighting the finest non-fiction cinema and exposing audiences to the limitless potential of the genre. Antenna will also continue to host seminars, talks, panel discussions, an industry conference (DocTalk), and professional development programs.
