The 2015 Byron Bay Film Festival promises to be a magical experience which you are invited to share – a celebration of cinema alongside hundreds of other film-lovers and filmmakers from home and around the world.
Join audiences for this outpouring of creative wonder, sensory stimulation and mind-expanding – There’s nothing like discovery.
The Byron festival is Australia’s largest regional film event: the 10-day program spans 220+ films from 35+ countries across 55 sessions and six venues. It is also home to the region’s most glamorous nights of the year, when international screen legends rub shoulders with dynamic industry professionals and film fans on the Red Carpet at our Gala Opening and Closing night parties.
It’s your opportunity to ditch the downloads, leave the comfort of the couch and be part of the fabulous fun of an international film festival – all in the glorious setting of Byron Bay, where the stars come to play.
Nothing beats being in the cinema hearing a filmmaker who has poured years of their life into telling a story – and then watching that story unfold on the big screen.
Your life will be enhanced, and probably changed forever.
