The Sydney Travelling Film Festival (TFF) returns to Huskisson in 2009, screening 28 - 30 August at Huskisson Pictures, corner Sydney and Owen Streets. This year the festival opens with new Aussie comedy My Year Without Sex, writer and director Sarah Watt's much talked about follow up to her smash-hit Look Both Ways. Selected to open the Adelaide Film Festival earlier this year, My Year Without Sex is a warm and witty look at life in the Aussie suburbs starring Sacha Horler and Matt Day. Described by At the Movies' Margaret Pomeranz in her 4 star review as ‘a lovely film' with ‘wry and infectious' humour, My Year Without Sex is an exciting home-grown treat.
Following the film light refreshments will be served with glasses raised to toast another year of fabulous films on offer in Huskisson.
