The 67th annual Sydney Film Festival was held from 10 to 21 June 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the film screenings were held virtually for the first time. In contrast to the regular editions, the festival only held four programs: Australian documentaries, Europe: Voices of Women in Film, Screenability, and Australian Short Films.
