In 2026, the Byron Bay International Film Festival celebrates its 20th edition - two decades of independent voices, community connection, and stories that inspire.

From humble beginnings to becoming one of Australia’s leading regional film festivals, BBFF has always been powered by the community that surrounds it - filmmakers, audiences, volunteers, and supporters like you.

Your support helps us continue championing independent film, nurturing emerging talent, and creating spaces for creativity and conversation to thrive. You are also helping ensure BBFF remains a strong and distinctive part of our region’s cultural landscape for years to come.

We’re really pleased to have you with us, and look forward to sharing everything this milestone year will bring.
