Our Schools Program returns!

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 a Primary and Secondary school package. BBFF provides teachers with an opportunity to expand horizons, stimulate discussions, and provide valuable educational experiences outside the traditional classroom setting.

Check out the full 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.

Available venues include:

PALACE CINEMAS BYRON BAY

BRUNSWICK PICTURE HOUSE, BRUNSWICK HEADS
