  • Presents the latest, most stylish and provocative in French cinema.

  • Australia Day

    Celebrating the arrival of Sydney’s First Fleet, this national holiday sees Sydney ferries and Tall Ships competing in the big race from the Harbour Bridge to Manly and back. There are free concerts and performances held across the city. Do keep in mind that to many indigenous people, this date is known as “Invasion Day”.

  • Diverse Jewish films from around the globe.

  • This rock-and-roll road show began in the early 1990s. Today, international acts mix it up with alternative and popular local outfits. In recent years bands have included Afrika Bambaataa, Metallica, Jane’s Addiction, PJ Harvey, and Kraftwerk.

  • A mix of dramas, docos, shorts and cult movies.

  • Ever since Hargrave took to the sky with four box kites (see Hargrave’s Box Kites), Sydneysiders have loved their kites. And there’s no better venue for a day of mass kiting than Bondi Beach, site of Australia’s largest kite-flying festival. Highlights include live music, dance, performances, food stalls, workshops and displays.

  • Australia’s only competitive international short film festival.

  • This carnival is more than just a street parade down Oxford Street (see Oxford & Crown Streets), for more than a quarter-million people line the route. The parade naturally ends with a party, but there is also an energetic programme of associated events that celebrates the strength and diversity of gay Sydney (see Gay & Lesbian Friendly Places).

  • Classic and contemporary cinema.

  • The Japan Foundation, Sydney – Cultural Section organizes international guests and retrospectives.
