Schools Program

Our Schools Program returns in 2024

Ignite the imaginations of your students with our specially curated Schools Sessions at the Byron Bay International Film Festival.

We've meticulously selected a range of films tailored to engage and educate, offering both Primary and Secondary school packages. BBFF provides teachers with an opportunity to expand horizons, stimulate discussions, and provide valuable educational experiences outside the traditional classroom setting.

We’re excited to offer Primary School students from across the region with the opportunity to see Future Council - directed by local filmmaker Damon Gameau, fresh from sold out sessions at the Melbourne International Film Festival.

This inspiring and rollicking journey, where ‘School of Rock’ meets ‘An Inconvenient Truth, results in the children forming a ‘Future Council’ to advise and influence the world's most powerful companies on their decisions that impact nature.

Check out the 2023 program for the Shorts with Tall Orders (Primary) and From Here to the Moon (Secondary) packages.

It’s an opportunity to enrich your students' learning journeys with the magic of cinema. Secure your booking now by emailing schools@bbff.com.au

Offered both during and after our 2023 dates the 2023 Schools Program curation was constructed by Jasper Caverly, an emerging filmmaker from Arakwal Country, with the intent to showcase the many possibilities of storytelling within the moving image medium.
