The Festival is a major event on the New South Wales cultural calendar and is one of the world's longest running film festivals.
Following a highly successful 2011 Festival, they are now seeking to appoint a new Festival Director to work collaboratively with the CEO and Board to develop and deliver a world-class film festival which inspires, challenges and entertains an increasingly broad and diverse audience.
Candidates will need to possess a thorough knowledge of films and filmmaking internationally, and the proven capacity to blend programming and marketing considerations to achieve successful Festival outcomes. Candidates will need to combine creative vision with commercial savvy, a sound appreciation of both Australian and international sales and distribution networks, and the capacity to negotiate effectively with filmmakers, sales agents, distributors, and other film festival directors. Exceptional communication, interpersonal and networking skills and the ability to work within a collaborative team environment will be essential.
