Limited SXSW Sydney 2023 Screen Festival Rush Tickets Now Available

October 11, 2023

Like our sister event in Austin, SXSW Sydney is best experienced by exploring the schedule over the whole week.

In our first year in Sydney, we’ve also focused on building that multi-day experience first, curating over 1,000 events. For our Screen Festival alone, we have 155+ films and projects across the week, over 66% of which are from APAC, and five First Nations films co-presented by Winda Film Festival. You can head here for the full rundown of all things screen that will be on offer.

Now that we’re close to the event, we have set aside a certain amount of seats in a selection of screenings happening from October 15 to 21. So, for anyone wanting to see something specific but who can’t make it to enough sessions for a wristband or badge to suit — rush tickets are available now.

Where can I get them? Head here to buy now.

How much are they? $25

Anything else? To ensure that the filmmakers get a full house, if there’s space left at screenings, we will make extra tickets available 15 mins before showtime. (Please note: it’s more likely that tickets will be available for sale at larger venues).
