ABOUT
THE
FESTIVAL

Sydney's home for
digital short-form storytelling  

Celebrating creators, women, diversity, & brilliant web work

Sydney Web Fest is Sydney's international web series festival, dedicated to the celebration of online content, and the talents of those who make it happen. Sydney Web Fest is committed to celebrating outstanding digital content creators, and, in particular, the creative accomplishments of women - along with honouring diversity across all spectrums. No matter how you identify, we look forward to your submission.

2023 marks SWF's fifth year, with the valued support from LA Web Fest, the eternally brilliant Michael Ajakwe, our partners Melbourne Web Fest, NZ Web Fest, Montreal Web Fest, New Jersey Web Fest, and other industry heavyweights. SWF will be packed with screenings, panels, networking opportunities, and our awards ceremony.

 

Our 2023 festival will be held at The Reservoir Cinema, inside the Rydges Hotel, on Albion Street Surry Hills. Join us for screenings, panels, and our pink carpeted awards ceremony. It's going to be a good one!

The Sydney Web Fest team is excited to welcome you to the fifth Sydney Web Fest!
