Sydney Opera House will host AU.X Screenworks in Sydney from 30 November to 3 December 2026. The four-day programme brings experimental screen-based media and events to the Studio, presenting work by Australian creative voices.
AU.X Screenworks brings four days to the Studio
The venue announced AU.X Screenworks dates and venue on 30 September 2026. The operator described the programme as a new four-day series of experimental screenings and events from Australian voices working at the edges of creative practice.
The programme runs from Monday 30 November through Thursday 3 December 2026 in the Studio. The dedicated AU.X Screenworks programme presents the event as a response to conventional screen culture, with individual works and related sessions scheduled across the four days.
Experimental media meets a building shaped by performance
AU.X Screenworks places contemporary screen work inside a building whose main identity is live performance. The Studio is one of the Opera House venues, so the programme adds moving-image work to a complex designed for theatre, music and other stage forms.
UNESCO records that the building was inaugurated in 1973 and stands at the tip of a peninsula projecting into Sydney Harbour. Its three groups of interlocking vaulted shells cover two main performance halls and a restaurant, while terraces around the platform function as pedestrian concourses. The UNESCO World Heritage description also records that an international jury awarded the project to Danish architect Jørn Utzon in 1957.
That setting gives the November and December programme a precise architectural context: visitors will encounter experimental screen-based work within a World Heritage-listed performing arts centre, rather than in a conventional cinema complex.
