The Testament of Ann Lee – 70mm Season

Rejoice! The Testament of Ann Lee is coming to the Ritz for a Sydney exclusive 70mm season from Thursday 26 February.

Directed by Norwegian filmmaker Mona Fastvold (co-writer of The Brutalist), set across 18th-century England and America, and with principal photography taking place in Budapest, this historical musical fable tells the extraordinary true legend of Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect know as the Shakers.

Academy Award nominee Amanda Seyfried stars as the Shakers’ irrepressible leader who preached gender and social equality and was revered by her followers.

The Testament of Ann Lee will open the 2026 edition of Europa! Europa with the Australian premiere on Thursday 19 February, with drinks, music, nibbles.

Tickets for both the festival preview and 70mm season are on sale now!
