Congratulations to Dov Kornits, Dr. Greg Dolgopolov and Inner West Council on organising the Inner West Film Fest for the third time! That's three straight years of enriching the local Inner West Sydney community through an array of engaging and culturally significant films. With the festival size doubling between 2023 and 2024, there were big expectations on the 2025 festival and it delivered. From events such as the 16mm film challenge to transforming a house into a live exhibition space, the team were really able to showcase a diverse set of works. There was even a screening in a bathtub! Many visitors participated in the festival from outside the Inner West and enjoyed not just the films, but all the local vibrancy on offer – from many award-winning restaurants, to breweries, distilleries and live music venues. Congratulations Dov Kornits and Dr. Greg Dolgopolov and Inner West Council, Mayor Darcy Byrne, General Manager Peter Gainsford and all involved on putting on such a wonderful event. I can't wait to see the Inner West Film Fest back again next year!
