SXSW SYDNEY 2025

SXSW SYDNEY HEADLINERS DROP.

SXSW Sydney has unveiled the headliners for its 2025 Screen Festival, and it's a line-up set to ignite the city this October. From twisted horror and searing drama to surreal comedy and musical legend, the program reflects the bold eclecticism that has become the festival's hallmark. To check out the details from this year's SXSW Sydney Screen Festival line-up, click here now.

'EASY A'

TOP MARKS FOR THE TEEN COMEDY.

It's been 15 years since 'Easy A' first brought us a pocketful of sunshine. Besides being hilarious, it's an important look into how female sexuality can be controlled by others, teaching us that it's "nobody's goddamn business" except their own. Click here to take a trip back to high school with Ashley and enjoy an 'Easy A'.
