Christie’s CineLife+ Series cinema projectors will once again be used to screen films at SXSW Sydney 2024, taking place today through October 20. Now in its second year, SXSW Sydney 2024 promises to be a standout event, offering a diverse array of music, gaming, technology, and film experiences.
As a trusted partner of this prestigious festival, Christie projection technology will once again deliver visual experiences to attendees across multiple locations, including the Darling Harbour Theatre at ICC Sydney.
Original Syndicate, in collaboration with Hoyts Cinema Technology Group, Christie’s longstanding partner, will oversee the screen festival showcase, providing comprehensive technical services to ensure seamless operation of all equipment, including the projection systems.

Additionally, film enthusiasts can also enjoy screenings powered by the new Christie CineLife+ RBe projectors at Palace Central Cinema Sydney in Chippendale, another key screening venue for SXSW Sydney, which were installed by Hoyts CTG.
