    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, August 24, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Movie buffs will have an opportunity to enjoy some of the best and most amusing moments of early 20th century cinema when Australia's Silent Film Festival comes to Sydney next month.

On September 16th, the festival moves to the Wesley Conference Centre, where it remains until the event closes on September 25th.
