Sydney Film Festival receives $2.25m boost

February 22, 2010 12:59

The New South Wales Government will provide a total of $2.91 million in funding for the Sydney Film Festival over three years.

The amount represents a $2.25m boost on top of the original $660,000 allocated to the festival; a decision based on the business opportunities SFF provides for local producers, distributors and exhibitors, in addition to the industry events and seminars that form part of its program.

This year’s edition (June 2-14) will see the festival expand its reach across western Sydney, in addition to the Travelling Film Festival in regional NSW (Wagga Wagga, Dubbo, Bryon Bay, Wollongong, Newcastle, Huskisson and Bowraville).
