Every edition of the Bangalow Film Festival is built from the ground up, with a pop-up cinema assembled from scratch in the iconic A&I Hall, staffed and delivered independently by locals. Beyond film premieres, BFF commissions local artists, runs school workshops for regional students, and provides professional development for Northern Rivers filmmakers. This festival belongs to this community. To keep it going and growing, we welcome your support through a donation. There is no limit to the contribution amount and all donations are tax-deductible via the Northern Rivers Community Foundation. Every donor will be acknowledged on our website and on screen during the festival. For donations of $1,000 and above, Friends of the Festivals will receive two festival passes (valued at $900), invitations to opening and closing night events, exclusive access to select guest events, and prominent acknowledgment across our website, program booklets, and on screen during the festival.
