Ivan Sen’s Goldstone will open the 63rd Sydney Film Festival on June 8, with the follow-up to Mystery Road having its world premiere at Sydney’s State Theatre.
Goldstone is Sen’s fourth feature and sees Aaron Pederson reprising his role of the troubled Indigenous detective Jay Swan, who audiences first met in Sen’s Mystery Road, which also opened Sydney Film Festival in 2013.
The film also stars Jacki Weaver, David Wenham, David Gulpilil, Cheng Pei-pei, Michelle Lim Davidson and Tom E. Lewis.
“You get the sense you must offer something special to be invited back to open the Festival for a second time, and we hope that Goldstone does do that,” said Sen in a statement.
The full program of the Sydney Film festival will be announced on May 11.
