POSTER LAUNCH! Prepare for Intergalactic Adventure on board the Festival Spacecraft,
the Central Image of our 2025 Key Artwork

Capturing that sense of anticipation and excitement that the start of a new journey brings, Sydney-based artist and filmmaker JOSH REED has crafted a spectacular key art image to launch the 6th annual Sydney Science Fiction Film Festival.

High above a futuristic Sydney cityscape, where the Westfield Tower (formerly known as Centrepoint) still stands from a bygone era, our massive spacecraft begins its long voyage into deep space in search of speculative narratives filled with wonder, terror, hope and humanity.

The son of the late Colin Eggleston, director of the classic Australian thriller LONG WEEKEND, Reed is himself an acclaimed filmmaker; his 2020 urban found-footage riff WE’RE NOT HERE TO F**K SPIDERS has forged a cult following globally

“Josh and I have been bumping into each other at genre events for a couple of years now,” says Festival Director Simon Foster. “He’s well known amongst the inner-city arts community for a bold and unique perspective on storytelling, visually and narratively. When I saw the bewildering, brilliant poster design he produced for this year’s Dark Nights Film Festival, I knew I had to get hime on board.”
