Sydney: Australian Book Launch and Film Screening

Following our events in London, Berlin, New York and Paris, Sydney is now the latest city to host our book launch and film screening.The anthology book “Little Houses, Big Forests (desire is no light thing)” was published by Repeater Books (UK) and distributed worldwide by Penguin/ Random House.

The accompanying film, “In the dark, dark room” was shot on location at Mustarinda, an artist residency in a remote part of Northern Finland. The Sydney launch and screening was hosted by inner city bookstore, Radio Free Alice.

Siouxzi read a piece of short fiction from the book, the film was screened and then a book signing took place afterwards. As Sydney is Siouxzi’s home city, it was a great thrill to finally present the work on home soil among good friends and family.Stay tuned for further launches around Australia.
