If you are looking for something cool to do in the school holidays BYS are celebrating Youth Week with the screening of 6 Festivals – a cutting edge, coming-of-age film, written and directed by local, Macario de Souza.
Maxie, Summer and James share a deep bond and love for music. James is the entrepreneur of the trio, his sights set on a career as a promoter. Summer has an incredible singing voice, and Maxie is their maestro of mischief. When James receives a devastating diagnosis, the friends – each with their own burdens to bear – throw themselves into a whirlwind of music festivals in an attempt to escape reality.
6 Festivals is a moving love letter to young friendship and the life-altering power of live music, it is rated MA 15+ and contains explicit language and drug references (children under the age of 15 may not legally watch this film unless they are in the company of an adult or legal guardian).
This is a free community event and includes a Q&A.
Thursday 20 April, 5pm–7pm @ The YAC, 1 Gilmore Crescent, Byron Bay.
