Spanish Film Festival

Due to the government restrictions around the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for social distancing, the Spanish Film Festival which was scheduled to begin on 21st April 2020 has been postponed. The event is looking to be rescheduled to a date in August 2020

The Spanish Film Festival is a yearly event that usually runs between April and May each year at various cinemas in Sydney; including Palace Norton Street, Palace Verona and Palace Central Sydney.

Each year, dozens of films are screened during the festival which celebrates the unique culture of Spain.

Gather up your friends and experience the uniqueness of a Spanish film. All films are played in their native language with English subtitles – unless otherwise specified. Festival tickets can be purchased online or at the box office of your chosen cinema – get in quick, as many sessions will sell out. Each ticket sold also permits the cinema-goer a drink upon arrival (unless excluded under other terms) and most cinemas offer allocated seating.

If you would like to experience a number of different films during the festival, multi-ticket passes are available. You can purchase a book of 5, 10 or 20 passes which are valid for one person during the festival.

There will not only be adult-orientated films screening during the festival but also a number of child-friendly films. Check the classification before purchasing your ticket.

You can get to Palace Norton Street via public transport, as buses regularly run along Norton Street, Marion Street and Parramatta Road. The nearest railway station is Petersham, within 15 minutes walking distance of the cinema.

You can get to Palace Verona via bus from the city on either the 380, 333, M40 and 440 buses. Alternatively, catch a train to Kings Cross Station (10-minute walk) or Museum Station (15-minute walk). Paid parking is available at St Vincent’s Hospital.

You can get to Palace Central Sydney by taking a train to Central Railway Station (taking exit 7 via Railway Square).
