Byron Bay Film Festival for Filmmakers

Filmmakers let's get ready for BBFF 2008

About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorThe Byron Bay Film Festival is an Australian International Film Festival that screens a diverse programme of films, of ALL LENGTHS and ALL GENRES, many of which reflect the interests and values of our unique local community - maintaining a strong emphasis on social and environmental issues, human rights, diversity and multiculturalism, creativity, indigenous culture, spirit, healing, connecting to nature, conscious thinking and positive living, music of every variety, colourful characters, humour and, of course being Byron Bay, surfing. You can get a feel for our audience by visiting our BBFF Myspace for audiences. For more information go to www.bbff.com.au

My Interests

Celebrating Connection, Conscious Thought & Creativity.BBFF, in its second year, featured 9 days of screening in beautiful Byron Bay. February 9th to the 18th 2007.The festival was a huge success with many films being picked up for other festivals and with distributors pledging their support for our future years.Now we're gearing up for BBFF 2008 Friday February 29th to Saturday March 8th and we're committed to creating an awesome experience for all involved.

I'd like to meet:

Talented Filmmakers who want to get their work out there and gain recognition for their efforts. This is our BBFF Myspace for Filmmakers which means WE ONLY ADD FILMMAKERS or people who in some way work with or truly love film. We've set up a BBFF Myspace for Audiences where we'll add people who either live relatively close (Australia) or exude that Byron Vibe (You'll understand once you get here). The reasoning for this is so when we put our bulletins they're relevant to the people getting them.
