The Sydney Harbour Federation Trust has confirmed that it will review the future of Cockatoo Island Film Festival.
During a meeting of the Trust yesterday, the organisers of the Cockatoo Island Film Festival tweeted its future was ‘bleak’.
A statement from the Trust this morning said: “The Sydney Harbour Federation Trust was a sponsor of the inaugural Cockatoo Island Film Festival. The Harbour Trust is currently conducting an independent post-event review of the Cockatoo Island Film Festival and its sponsorship. The outcome of this review will assist the Harbour Trust to determine how it will move forward.”
While the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust is the Leadership Partner, the festival was also sponsored by Nsw Mining and Hoyts as Strategic Partners. The festival was organised by Allanah Zitserman and Stavros Kazantzidis who are also behind the Dungog Film Festival.
