The Byron Bay International Film Festival

Under the force of nature that is festival director J’aimee Skippon-Volke, The Byron Bay International Film Festival has defined itself as arguably Australia’s leading regional film festival gathering. Sure, the surrounding geography and celebrity-magnet nature of the coastal enclave has helped, but BBFF has earned a reputation as a groundbreaking undertaking in its own right – virtual reality sidebars, local sector support, year-round event management, premiere showings.

All within walking distance of pristine beach conditions and cafe lifestyle luxuries (and, if you’re lucky, a Hemsworth!)

Byron Bay, October 15-24
