Hyperlinks (February 21-23) was the first festival from Static Vision, a local collective who have been presenting Australian and NSW premiere screenings of important international films (the Academy Award nominated Hale County This Morning, This Evening and Long Day’s Journey Into Night among them) since October 2018.

Hyperlinks screened 13 feature films and 9 short films at Pink Flamingo Cinema in Marrickville.

“The works selected by programmers Conor Bateman and Felix Hubble draw on sources of all kinds in ways that provoke curiosity and questions”
