The festival kicks off with acclaimed local filmmaker Sophie Hyde and actor Aud Mason-Hyde in attendance for a Q&A following the Sydney premiere of Jimpa on 12 February at Event Cinemas George St. Then a series of incredible events at State Library of NSW including the screening of Second Nature narrated by Elliot Page. Join the Panel: Problematic Faves after the screening, with moderator Genevieve Fricker (Question Everything) and panellists Jordan Barr (Triple J, Popgays), Steven Oliver (Black Comedy, Big Backyard Quiz) and Louise Weard (Castration Movie) as they wade into the weeds with this fun and potentially dicey topic. Plus, don’t miss an in-conversation event where acclaimed Australian filmmaker Sophie Hyde sits down with writer Benjamin Law for a wide-ranging discussion about her storied career. Get ready to laugh out loud and savour the sweetest chemistry on Sunday at Live Commentary: Lesbian Space Princess with writer-directors Leela Varghese and Emma Hough Hobbs, alongside moderator Nina Oyama (Deadloch), as they discuss the making of Australian animated sci-fi comedy on Sunday 22 February 1.30pm at The Red Rattler.
