The 62nd Sydney Film Festival will open this June with the world premiere of an Australian film, Ruben Guthrie.
Ruben Guthrie is the directorial debut of Brendan Cowell, one of Australia’s most recognisable actors and screenwriters. Starring the likes of Patrick Brammall, Alex Dimitiades and Abbey Lee, the film is an adaptation of Cowell’s own Belvoir Street Theatre production.
Fittingly, the film focuses on a party-loving Sydney advertising man seeking to turn over a new leaf.
The news follows the earlier teaser announcement of the first films to appear on the 2015 Sydney Film Festival program. The full list of around 200 films will be revealed on Wednesday May 6.
Ruben Guthrie will open Sydney Film Festival 2015 on Wednesday June 3 at the State Theatre. Opening Night tickets are on sale now.
