The Byron Bay International Film Fest

Byron Bay is a town known world-wide for creativity, style and green-living which plays host to some of Australia's most successful festivals providing a unique environment for creative arts to be nurtured and celebrated..

The Byron Bay International Film Festival provides a platform for independent filmmakers locally, nationally and from around the world. We reflect the unique spirit of Byron Bay 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, colourful characters, humour and, of course Byron's most popular past-time, surfing.

We don't limit the films we show to just those with themes like we described above we like to transport our audience away from their sub-tropical paradise and let them experience stories, people and places worlds away.

BBFF supports independent filmmakers in all stages of their careers and we believe creating opportunities wherever possible - bringing the work of talented creatives to an appreciative and intelligent audience and our festival is supported by some of the heavyweights of the Australian Film Industry.
