The Byron Bay International Film Festival (BBFF) is an AACTA Awards accredited independent film event held annually in Byron Bay, Australia. Established in 2005 and adopting its current name in late 2008, the festival showcases a diverse program of films across all lengths and genres, often with a focus on social and environmental issues, human rights, and indigenous culture. It serves as a platform for independent filmmakers and includes workshops and masterclasses, even venturing into Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) sectors. Typically spanning ten days, the festival presents various awards, including those for Best Film, Documentary, Short Film, and Young Australian Filmmaker.
