It coincides with the imminent release of Death Stranding 2, which is set in Australia.

Death Stranding 2 releases for PlayStation 5 on June 26 and, as it turns out, will be set predominantly in Australia. So I guess it makes sense that Hideo Kojima will be in Australia at around the same time to promote the game: he'll appear "in discussion" with Babe and Happy Feet creator George Miller, as part of the Sydney Film Festival.

Miller, who is also the creator of the Mad Max series, has an acting role in Death Stranding 2 as Tarman, so he's pretty close to the project, having sung the praises of the original Death Stranding back in 2019. According to the festival, the discussion will "explore the creative intersections between film and videogames, and the visionary approach each artist brings to their craft."
