Filmmaker David Lee Miller says “We have travelled the world with our film, My Suicide, from Berlinale to San Francisco, and the Byron Bay Film Festival is absolutely world class -- filmmaker friendly, professionally run, and featuring top notch, bleeding-edge independent films.  Add the inspirational setting and the people, and the gestalt is pure magic!” 

 The Byron Bay International Film Festival is open to films of all lengths and all genres. Films in competition must have been completed after Jan 1st 2008.
