BONUS SCREENINGS BY POPULAR DEMAND

Sydney Film Festival may finish on Sunday, June 14 but there is a second chance to catch some of our most popular films at Palace Cinemas in Leichhardt and Paddington from Monday 15 to Wednesday 17 June.

Eight features and two documentaries will screen again. Features such as acclaimed American indie comedy Dope, set in 1990s about hip hop obsessed teens; Sundance comedy hit Me and Earl and the Dying Girl from award winning American Horror Story director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon; Grandma, starring the great Lily Tomlin exploring womanhood in America over three generations; and from India The Crow’s Egg: a family film about two slum dwelling children’s quest to try a slice of pizza.

Other important features include award-winning Ukrainian film The Tribe, the first ever sign-language drama without subtitles or narration; Swedish master Roy Andersson’s critically acclaimed quirky comedy A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence; darkly comic drama Villa Touma about a family from the waning Palestinian Christian aristocracy; and celebrated Iranian director Jafar Panahi’s latest film Tehran Taxi, made in defiance of a government ban.

Documentaries include Australian Maya Newell’s film Gayby Baby, a child’s eye view of growing up in same sex families; and The Wolfpack, a strange but true story of seven film obsessed children who rarely leave their New York apartment.
