Independent filmmakers are the heart and soul of this festival, whose quality programming of entertaining, inspiring and eye-opening films from many different countries sets the stage for filmmakers at all stages of their careers to showcase outstanding work across all genres.
All just a short stroll from world class beaches, great cafes, bars and restaurants, live music, shopping and the colourful, cruisy and creative streetscape, for which Byron Bay is renowned. If your creativity is cutting edge and you have a message to tell, be a part of this humanistic festival that’s fusing artistry, education and innovation to enhance our worldview and collective social dialogue through the power and storytelling of film – and VR!
