#FROCKUPBYRON

Byron Bay Film Festival 6 – 15 October 2017

 

We like to party!

 

The 11th Annual Byron Bay Film Festival is in full swing and the buzz is amazing!

Amongst sold-out sessions, rave reviews, and a plethora of experiences from educational beach action events with the award-winning BLUE filmmakers, impromptu street promo with Joel Jackson, surfing with Michael Oblowitz, VR experiences to rock your imagination, celebrity spotting, informative discussions about the craft and industry, schools and family sessions, and so much more, we’re well and truly in celebration mode at this jam-packed vibrant festival!

And we’re nowhere near done yet! Check out the amazing films still to screen and get along to a session.

Come and celebrate the world of film with us, in the second half of the ten-day extravaganza right here in beautiful Byron Bay.

It’s not too late to get your party on with us –

CLOSING NIGHT RED CARPET GALA EVENT

Saturday 14 October, 6:45pm

Byron Community Theatre

Film: RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World

+ After-party + music + canapes + beverages + red carpet

 

The story of a profound, essential, and, until now, missing chapter in the history of American music: The indigenous influence.

RUMBLE explores how the Native American influence is an integral part of music history, despite attempts to ban, censor, and erase Indian culture in the United States.

RUMBLE shows how Indigenous music was part of the very fabric of American popular music from the beginning, but that the Native American contribution was left out of the story – until now.

After the film, we will party into the night with food, beverages, music, and good times. Get your red carpet outfit ready and join us for the finale of the festival!
