Cinema Park – Sydney International Film Festival

Overview

2013 marks the first year of the Sydney Intercultural Film Festival, a celebration that aims to connect Sydneysiders with the stories, sounds and tastes of the many cultures of the world.

The festival runs from November 13–17 with events and screenings at multiple venues across the city. The hub of the festival will be in Haymarket’s Belmore Park, which will be transformed into Cinema Park for five days of entertainment. The park will host screenings of films from 33 countries including China, India, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Poland and Australia.

The festivities also include music, arts and comedy performances; film workshops, demonstrations and seminars; signing and interactive sessions with celebrities and filmmakers; kid’s rides; costume competitions; raffles and prize giveaways; and more than 100 international food, merchandise and entertainment stalls.

Whether you’re a film fanatic or culture crazed, there is something for everyone at Cinema Park. And you certainly know the food will be good.

Cinema Park is open from 10.30am-9.30pm.
