This will be the third year that Way Out West will incorporate screenings and events at theatres and venues around town, often with talent in attendance. Last year was a huge success: most of the twenty-five films screened became box office and festival winners. SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN, which had its Swedish premiere here, later became an Academy Award winner. The director and main character of the film, Rodriguez, attended the screening and Rodriguez played a fantastic gig at one of the bigger venues later the same evening.

Way Out West is a new and exciting forum for film and music, a natural meeting place for artists, actors, directors, film and music professionals.

There will be around thirty films in total screened, and here are the first ten titles. More films and events will be announced in the lead up to August!
