BBFF2025 - Through the Local Lens

The Northern Rivers, recognized as Australia's largest regional film hub, is celebrated at our festival with a selection of locally made films. These films highlight the unique stories and artistic visions that flourish in this vibrant creative community. From stirring narratives to groundbreaking documentaries, local filmmakers use their deep connections to the region to craft films that resonate with authenticity and passion, reflecting the dynamic cultural landscape of our region.

Some films are intimate and personal, others daring and playful, but all share a sense of place and the spark of imagination that thrives here.

With the filmmakers present, this session is your chance to explore and celebrate the depth of filmmaking in our own backyard.
