5 x Double Passes to a Douglas Sirk Classic at Sydney Film Festival

Score a double pass to one of Douglas Sirk's 1950s Hollywood melodramas playing at the festival.

 

Sydney Film Festival has revealed the Official Program for the festival that will run June 8-19.

 

One of the highlights at this year's festival is a retrospective featuring five of the best 1950s Hollywood melodramas of Douglas Sirk. Reinterpreted by filmmakers from Reiner Werner Fassbinder (Fear Eats the Soul) to Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven), they remain pervasively influential, with the hit TV series Mad Men also drawing deep from the Sirkian well of stylistic excesses, loaded subtexts and shimmering surfaces.

 

The five classics screening in this section are Magnificent Obsession, All That Heaven Allows, Written On The Wind, There's Always Tomorrow and Imitation Of Life.

 

For your chance to win a double pass to a film from this section, simply email Sydney Film Festival at competitions@sff.org.au with "Filmink" in the subject field. Only winners will be notified.
