Speak.

Each year, the most articulate and ambitious students from across the United States gather for the National Speech & Debate Association’s highly prestigious public speaking competition, with notable alumni including Oprah, Bruce Springsteen and Paul Rudd. Speak. follows five top contenders in the lead-up to the 2024 edition, as they obsessively rehearse and refine speeches that bravely tackle hot-button social and political topics including race, sexuality, disability and discrimination. This crowd-pleaser from Jennifer Tiexiera (Subject, SFF 2023) and Guy Mossman offers a beacon of hope for the next generation of leaders, and will have you cheering for your favourites as you get to know each competitor up close.

Limited seats are available for patrons requiring access for wheelchairs, low vision and hearing loop. Please contact our ticketing team directly on 1300 733 733 or tickets@sff.org.au to complete your booking.
