Join Three Lords and Byron Theatre in celebrating the 50th anniversary of Stanley Kubrick’s

Three Lords are especially proud to present Stanley Kubrick’s abstract & cult classic back to the big screen, in honour of its 50th anniversary, with an exclusive interview with Academy Award winning Camera Assistant, Laurie Frost (UK)
Join us as we learn about the mind and creative process of Stanley Kubrick from Laurie’s first hand experience from collaborating on the sets of ‘A Clockwork Orange’ & ‘Barry Lyndon’. Their relationship spanned almost 30 years, with many of Stanley’s words and mottos still echoing into Laurie’s professional life today, as well as the undeniable impact Stanley Kubrick continues to have in the cinema and visual storytelling industry.

In the future, a sadistic gang leader is imprisoned and volunteers for a conduct-aversion experiment, but it doesn’t go as planned.

REVIEWS
“It is 2020 and I’m late to the Clockwork Orange party. I found myself pulled into the film and while the opening scenes were disturbing, I feel it is a reflection on how our society is today but in a subtle tone. We like to consider ourselves civilized and modern while pretending such monstrosities for personal hedonic gratification don’t exist.” – IMDB

“If I could describe to you how I felt the first time I watched this movie, I could not stop thinking about it. The whole day I was thinking about it, and wanted to rewatch it so I could fully grasp the genius of this seminal classic masterpiece. This is a seminal film, up there with the Godfather, 8 1/2, the Seventh Seal, Citizen Kane, Solaris, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Schindler’s List, Life is Beautiful. It is up there it is one of the most gripping film experiences you will ever have, it’s a brilliant piece of filmmaking created by the brilliant Stanley Kubrick. This is a must watch for any film fan. One of the most gripping, original, and brilliant films ever made.” – IMDB

“Kubrick’s sensationally scabrous thesis on violence” – The Guardian

“It demands thought, compels the attention, and refuses to be dismissed. And, for that reason, A Clockwork Orange must be considered a landmark of modern cinema.” – Reel Views

The Big Bike Film Night 2021
2021-12-15 19:00 - 22:00
The Big Bike Film Night returns for 2021, and is pedalling into Byron Bay on Thursday 21st October 2021. Described as ‘a feast of short films devoted to the bicycle and all who ride’, The Big Bike Film Night is an annual event that presents an array of international movies specifically selected by New Zealander and self-proclaimed “Film Pedlar”/ Curator, Brett Cotter.
The Big Bike Film Night showcases the colourful array of cycling genres at hand. “Our vision with this event is to share the best cycling short films from around the world,” says the Brett Cotter. “We focus on the ‘human interest’ side, and these films are a great reminder of why we love to ride with stories that celebrate the fun, adventure and inspiration that cycling enables”.
“After the incredible and humbling response from our Byron bike fans last year, I can’t wait to showcase our much awaited 2021 collection; Covid-19 sparked a bike boom and with this, Australians are embracing all things bicycle related,” says Mr. Cotter.
This year’s treasure chest of films includes one man’s mission to ride every street around New Zealand, an unusual Victorian pastime taking place in modern London; an Australian female rider who goes back in time to carry the stories of the past into the future; four adventurers bikerafting and riding through challenging landscapes, following the historical trails to and from one of New Zealand’s most significant rivers; the humble story of a BMX Club and their dream of becoming the number one Club in the UK; a film that celebrates the growing, sustainable type of tourism where everyone is a winner, and a unique bike builder who builds off-road cycles that help change people’s lives; all in the mix.
The Big Bike Film Night screens at the Byron Theatre on Thursday 21st October, 7pm. For more information and to buy tickets visit www.bigbikefilmnight.nz, www.byroncentre.com.au or visit the Byron Theatre to buy your tickets.

BANGALOW FLEA MARKET
2021-12-11 08:00 - 14:00
The Bangalow Flea Markets are the newest markets to arrive in the Northern Rivers area. Founded by a local Bangalow family, these markets aim to offer a collection of stalls from established businesses, regular market vendors and locals wanting to sell their pre-loved items – garage sale style. By creating a community market that supports small businesses and families from surrounding areas, we’re hoping to create a new buzzing environment where there’s something for everyone.

Our Flea Markets run on the second Saturday of every month from 8am – 2pm at Bangalow Public School. Stallholders sell new and retro clothing, furniture, self-care items and services, and plus unique bits and pieces. Whatever you may find, it’s a fun day out to hunt for bargains, hang out with family or catch up with some friends.

GET YOUR PULSE PUMPING AT THE 2021 Radical Reels Tour.
Heart-stopping feats will have you on the edge of your seat.
Faster, steeper, higher, deeper!
The most adrenaline-inducing mountain sport films from around the globe will thrill and inspire you with big-screen adventures when the Radical Reels Tour hits the road around Australia this October and November.
The festival is the Banff Mountain Film Festival’s more outrageous, adventurous little sibling and is characterised by ‘Oh my God’ moments as elite athletes and adventurers conquer their challenges and dreams.
This year’s tour promises to get your pulse racing, from the comfort and safety of your cinema seat. Watch death defying feats of pure genius, verging on insanity, shot in some of the planets most spectacular settings. Transporting audiences from remote South American rivers with a crew of mad kayakers to the remote rock walls of northern Canada. Witness death defying mountain bike stunts and join dedicated adventurers on their own personal epic challenges. Radical Reels promises the best of skiing, climbing, and biking not to mention human resilience and astounding skill.
Taking viewers on an adrenaline-powered journey with stomach-dropping ski descents, the Radical Reels Tour is 3 hours of endorphin-inducing deep and steep fresh powder runs, mad capped alpine missions, climbing on the precipice of safety, and much more.
“If you like your film festivals real, raw and packed full of adventure, Radical Reels is the festival for you,” says festival director, Jemima Robinson. “The films showcase just how far humans can push the limits of risk, of speed, of fitness, and of sanity in some truly spectacular yet formidable environments.”
Gather your adventure loving crew and secure your seats. Just like the onscreen action, screenings typically sell out at a fast and furious pace.

The War on 2021 presented by Chaser.com.au & The Shovel at Byron Theatre
Join Australia’s satirical all-stars: Charles Firth (The Chaser), Mark Humphries (ABC TV’s 7.30), Freudian Nip’s Jenna Owen and Victoria Zerbst (SBS The Feed) and James Schloeffel (The Shovel) as they dissect the scandals, corruption, incompetence and empathy training courses of the past 12 months.
From the team that brought you the Contact Tracies, Margaret & David’s iconic review of 2020, Scott Morrison’s curry addiction, and a year’s worth of headlines from The Chaser and The Shovel, comes a show that is designed to make you laugh, but will probably make you cry.
It was a year when all Australians were first in line to receive a vaccination announcement, when the government launched more defamation cases than dedicated quarantine facilities and someone in Parliament House had a wank on a desk.
Now, under the enlightened leadership of fine, upstanding gentlemen such as Peter Dutton, Andrew Laming and Christian Porter there is no longer any need for critical comment. Which is lucky, because if there was, we would be facing multiple defamation lawsuits.
What critics have said about our previous shows:
‘A cut above the rest’: The Adelaide Advertiser
‘An onslaught of razor-sharp satire’: The Barefoot Review
‘Oozes with wit‘: On the Record
‘I left with a sore stomach from laughing extremely hard’: Theatre Travels
‘Hilarious’: See Do Eat Review
‘I’ve engaged lawyers’: Christian Porter
* Purchase a VIP* ticket to receive the best seats + a complimentary copy of “The Chaser & Shovel 2021 Annual” valued at $32.95!
Every ticket includes a full course of online empathy training that will make any scandal magically fade away.
Parental guidance is recommended for people under the age of 15

Akmal returns with an hour of hilarious, unfiltered stand-up comedy.
Come and witness one of Australia’s best comedians in full flight!
“Random, improvised and hilarious…” www.crickey.com.au
“No one wanted the show to stop…he seemed to own the stage.” Sydney Morning Herald
★★★★ 1/2 The Advertiser
Anyone who’s experienced a live Akmal show knows the charmingly deranged energy this hilarious national treasure brings to the stage. Now imagine Akmal cooped up for months inside his own house during lockdown – forced to stare at the wall muttering madly to himself, instead of into a mic. The thoughts swirling but never getting OUT. The unreleased funny building to a critical mass!
Oh boy.
Thankfully, it’s time for Akmal to explode onto stage once more … and GOD ONLY KNOWS what crazy thoughts he’s cooked up in confinement!

Pandemic’s got you down? Akmal is the perfect cure. He’s an ARIA-winning comic who has spent decades at the top of the Aussie comedy industry. He has the unique perspective of being born in Egypt and raised here from the age of 11.
He’s also one of our funniest exports, having toured the world, including to the Edinburgh and Montreal International Comedy Festivals. He’s a star of film and TV, notably one of the most reluctant guests on ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here’ (he really did want to get out of there), as well as numerous radio appearances. He’s an author and a poet (okay, not a poet), a beloved all-round performer – and it’s going to be amazeballs fun as he gets back to his stand-up comedy roots this festival season.
Akmal Saleh returns to the stage in 2021 – unhinged, unfiltered and unleashed!

Byron Bay Lighthouse Run 2021

Byron Bay Lighthouse Run
Sunday 21 November 2021
Beachside – Clarkes Beach Car Park, Byron Bay, NSW

Byron Bay Lighthouse Run is organised by Lisa Parkes, with the assistance of the Lighthouse Run committee, an amazing group of volunteers and sponsors. Now in its 15th year, the run has grown from humble beginnings.
NX sports are a community partner in this event.
The organisers take no money from the event at all – all money raised goes to charity. Each year we select different charities. We consider that some charities get huge support so, we try to go for the underdog and smaller ventures. We also like to keep in touch with projects to see where our money has gone. Our team of committee members, volunteers and sponsors work hard to organise the event. The participants who run or walk pay for the event, so we like to take notice of what happens to the money.
On Sunday 21 November 2021 we are supporting Headspace Lismore and Indigenous Carbon Australia.
Please note groups of ten or more people in one transaction will receive 10% off at checkout.

Tweed Regional Gallery presents "At Home - Margaret Olley & Ben Quilty"
2021-11-13 - 2022-02-20
At Home
Margaret Olley & Ben Quilty
Saturday 13 November 2021 to Sunday 20 February 2022
The Margaret Olley Art Centre
This exhibition tells the story of mentorship, art and friendship between Margaret Olley (1923–2011) and Ben Quilty (b.1973), two of Australia’s most celebrated artists.
At Home is a sublime collection of recent still life paintings by Ben Quilty alongside still lifes and interiors by Margaret Olley, from the latter half of her extraordinary career.
Our new, post-COVID world inadvertently offered a context for the making of work by Quilty that finds synergy with Olley’s dedication to painting still life. During the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown Quilty turned to ordinary objects as subject matter for painting – something Olley did for many decades in her own Duxford Street home studio.
At Home brings their work together to reflect on the everyday as subject matter for painting and as a humble vehicle for the contemplation of humanity.
The Margaret Olley Estate is represented by Philip Bacon Galleries (Brisbane). Ben Quilty is represented by Jan Murphy Gallery (Brisbane) and Tolarno Galleries (Melbourne).

NINBELLA Gallery presents "Hot Chixx Make Art"
2021-11-03 - 2021-11-30
WEDNESDAY 3 NOV from 5 pm to 7.30 pm
Ninbella throws opens its doors at 5pm on Wednesday November 3 for a new exhibition called Hot Chixx Make Art. This show is a celebration of the rich and diverse work of 5 extraordinary female artists, some of whom are exhibiting for the very first time.

MELISSA LADKIN is a proud Awabakal woman of the Wonnarua nation with ties to the Githabul Bundjalung people who has been living and working on Bundjalung Country for the past 15 years. “My practice represents the multi-layered history of our people and our intrinsic connection to country”, she says. Melissa has been caring for country for most of her life as a bush regenerator and her reciprocal relationship with the land is reflected in the sacred relationship she has with her material of choice, ochre.

Best-selling author, award-winning comedy writer, host of award-winning TV and now artist, GRETEL KILLEEN debuted at Ninbella in December 2020 with a series of expressive works painted in response to the 2019/20 bushfires when Sydneysiders were advised not to leave home due to poor air quality. This next collection of works was painted during the 2021 lockdown whilst nursing a broken heart.

After a long stint in the UK, TAMSIN CHANDLER returned to Byron Bay in 2019 to work as a full-time artist. Her principal interest is in human nature and this is expressed in her strangely dark and psychological works rendered in acrylics on framed boards.

MICHE BONETT-HORTON has worked in photography, television and film most of her working life. She ran Rennie Ellis’s Scoopix library and was eventually poached by global firm, The Image Bank, to manage their film library. In this, her first exhibition, she presents a selection of extraordinary photographs taken from a helicopter hovering over the Kununurra region of the Kimberley in north-west of Western Australia. Shot on her 58th birthday, they were taken on a mission with legendary architectural photographer John Gollings to document and preserve ancient indigenous rock art for the Kimberley Foundation run by the Melbourne Myers family.

After completing school in Sydney, Brisbane artist SUSAN DOHERTY trained as a make-up and prosthetics artist, and worked in theatre and film where her interest in the visual arts took root. Her father was an officer in the Australian Army, which meant her family was constantly on the move, interstate and overseas and her work reflects her experience of human nature.

“Inception” does a difficult thing. It is wholly original, cut from new cloth, and yet structured with action movie basics so it feels like it makes more sense than (quite possibly) it does.” ***** Roger Ebert

“Christopher Nolan’s cerebro-tech thriller may be short on story, but makes up for it with staggering fantasy set pieces.” ***** The Guardian

“Arguably the perfect blockbuster” ***** AV FORUMS

No partner; No ropes; No margin for error
As the sport of climbing turns from a niche pursuit to mainstream media event, Marc-André Leclerc climbs alone, far from the limelight. On remote alpine faces, the free-spirited 23-year-old makes some of the boldest solo ascents in history. Yet, he draws scant attention. With no cameras, no rope, and no margin for error, Marc-André’s approach is the essence of solo adventure.
Intrigued by these quiet accomplishments, veteran filmmaker Peter Mortimer (The Dawn Wall) sets out to make a film about Marc-André. But the Canadian soloist is an elusive subject: nomadic and publicity shy, he doesn’t own a phone or car, and is reluctant to let the film crew in on his pure vision of climbing. As Peter struggles to keep up, Marc-Andrés climbs grow bigger and more daring. Elite climbers are amazed by his accomplishments, while others worry that he is risking too much.
Then, Marc-André embarks on a historic adventure in Patagonia that will redefine what is possible in solo climbing. THE ALPINIST is an intimate documentary of a visionary climber who follows the path of his own passion, despite the heaviest of possible consequences.
