  • Festival Description:

    The Byron Bay Film Festival provides a platform for independent filmmakers locally, nationally and from around the world. It is their intention to preserve the unique spirit of Byron Bay within the festival itself - reflecting the local community by maintaining a strong emphasis on social and environmental issues, human rights, diversity and multiculturalism, creativity, indigenous culture, spirit, healing, connecting to nature, conscious thinking and positive living, music of every variety, marine preservation, colorful characters, humor and, of course being Byron Bay, surfing.

    However while the festival integrates the values and filmmaking talents of the Byron Bay community, it programs international films so that the audience can experience stories, people and places worlds away.

    BBFF supports independent filmmakers in all stages of their careers and they believe creating opportunities wherever possible - profiling selected filmmakers and promoting their films both before and after our festival. The Byron Bay Film Festival brings the work of talented creatives to an appreciative and intelligent audience members, some of which who are  heavyweights of the Australian Film Industry.
