"BUFF aims to Tantalise & Stimulate conversations of the not-so-talked-about, so strap yourself in & support Independent cinema, Art, & the Community.
Building upon last year’s ELECTRIC event, the Byron Underground Film Festival (BUFF) returns in 2022 to shake things up, expand the mind, and celebrate the curious through the majesty of curated shorts, features and art pieces. This isn’t your standard film festival. Expect Filmmaker panel discussions, street performers, stand-up comedy, drive-in cinemas, guerrilla marketing, flash-mobs, and a celebration of the alternative lifestyle that made Byron Bay the Paramount of Australian anti-culture."
Andre Stamos
Festival Director
