Sydney Film Festival Nashen Moodley, Fuz and Cold Storage

SFF Wrapped, Alice and Steve, The Four Seasons + Have You Seen It?

🎬 Tonight on Celluloid Dreams! 🍿 Airs Wednesday 17 June | 7:30 PM | 2SER 107.3 🎞️ Sydney Film Festival Wrap Up: The curtains may have come down on Sydney Film Festival 2026, but the conversation is far from over. Lewis and Evan look back at this year’s festival, unpacking the winners, the surprises, and the films that stayed with us long after the credits rolled. With reprisal screenings running this week and the Travelling Film Festival just around the corner, consider this your guide to what deserves a place on your watchlist. Was it a vintage year or just another festival fling? Tune in to find out. 🎥 Have You Seen It? We’re launching a brand new segment this week. Each episode one of the Celluloid Dreams team will champion a film they love and throw down the challenge: Have You Seen It? We’ll all watch it and report back the following week. If you’d like to join the conversation, consider this your homework. 📺 Stream It or Leave It: Alice and Steve Gaby has dragged her eyes away from the World Cup long enough to catch Alice and Steve. This new rom-com asks a question that sounds simple on paper but gets complicated fast. Can a relationship survive when an older man falls for a younger woman who just happens to be his best friend’s daughter? Is this a charming comedy about love finding a way, or does the ick factor prove impossible to overcome? 📻 Tune in at 7:30 PM on 2SER 107.3 for festival highlights, streaming verdicts, and all things screen culture. You can also catch up anytime on the podcast. 🎧 Missed the show?

Sydney Film Festival in full flight

Check out our take on what we've been seeing at the Sydney Film Festival. With a bunch of repeat screenings announced for next week, there is still time to catch some festival gems. sff.org.au

Interview: Ian Darling - The Valley (Sydney Film Festival)

In this conversation we go inside one of the year's most quietly powerful documentaries. Director Ian Darling spent 100 days in Kangaroo Valley, a small rural community south of Sydney, to make The Valley. A film with no narration, no interviews and no conventional storytelling. Just people, place and time. Hear what inspired Ian and what he discovered in the making of his first long form documentary.

Interview: Josef Gatti - Phenomena (Sydney Film Festival)

In this conversation we go behind the scenes of one of this year's most original documentaries. Writer, director and cinematographer Josef Gatti's debut feature, Phenomena, sets out to visually capture the forces and nature of the universe. Set to a score by Nils Frahm and Rival Consoles, hear how Josef, aided by his physics teacher father, came to show us what the universe actually looks like. The film is screening at the Sydney Film Festival www.sff.org.au

SFF Interviews Ian Darling & Josef Gatti + H is for Hawk, Sheep Detectives & Spider-Noir

🎬 Tonight on Celluloid Dreams! 🍿 Airs Wednesday 3 June | 7:30 PM | 2SER 107.3 ✨ New Releases: Beth joins us to explore H is for Hawk, a moving adaptation of Helen Macdonald’s acclaimed memoir. Can caring for a bird of prey with razor-sharp instincts help heal a broken heart, or are some wounds too deep to soar above? Meanwhile, Lewis heads to the countryside for Sheep Detective, where something suspicious is afoot in the paddock. Can this woolly whodunnit deliver the goods, or is the trail already stone cold? 🎟️ Sydney Film Festival Spotlight: We speak with director Ian Darling about The Valley, his meditative and deeply immersive documentary that invites audiences to slow down and observe life unfolding in all its complexity. We also catch up with cinematographer turned director Josef Gatti to discuss Phenomena, his feature documentary debut. Blending science, philosophy and stunning imagery, the film is a visual and auditory exploration of the nature of the universe. Ever wondered what the universe actually looks like? Josef has some ideas. 📺 Stream It or Leave It: Spider-Noir The Spider-Verse continues to expand as Spider-Noir swings onto Amazon Prime. Starring Nicolas Cage and wrapped in a stylish 1930s aesthetic, the series arrives in both glorious black and white and True Hue colour. Has this spin-off woven a web worth getting caught in, or should it stay tangled in the shadows? 📻 Tune in at 7:30 PM on 2SER 107.3 for new releases, Sydney Film Festival conversations, and streaming verdicts.
