Tropfest will take place next in the Cattle Paddocks, a four-hectare area in Parramatta Park with a 70,000 capacity.
Mad Max director and Tropfest board member George Miller and Jurassic Park actor Sam Neill attended the announcement on Monday at Parramatta Park, the festival’s new home for the next three years.
“It’s absolutely an incubator [of talent],” Miller said at the announcement in Parramatta Park.
“Moving Tropfest to Parramatta also puts us firmly in the geographical heart of Sydney, which is the perfect place for the world’s most exciting and accessible film event.”
