SUMMARY:LIMBO -  Fundraising screening presented by Ballina Region for Refugees @ Byron Theatre
DESCRIPTION:WHEN:\nJune 2\, 2022 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm\n\n\nWHERE:\nByron Theatre\n69 Jonson Street\nByron Bay NSW 2481\nAustralia\n\n\nCOST:\n$25 | Rated M\n\n\nCONTACT:\n\n\n Event website \n\n\n\n\n\n \nBallina Region for Refugees (BR4R) is hosting a special film screening to raise funds for their work assisting refugees and asylum seekers both within and outside Australia. \nLimbo is a funny and poignant cross-cultural satire set in Scotland that subtly sews together the hardship and hope of the refugee experience. \nOmar (Amir El Masry\, The Night Manager\, Star Wars) is a promising young musician. Separated from his Syrian family\, he is stuck on a remote Scottish island awaiting the fate of his asylum request\, and wanders the epic landscape searching for answers to a complex past and unknown future. He may be stuck\, but he is not alone. Omar and his new flatmates attend hilariously misjudged ‘cultural awareness’ classes. They binge watch the “Friends” boxset\, debating whether Ross and Rachel were on a break\, while Freddie Mercury-obsessed Farhad tries to convince Omar to participate in the local open mic night. \nNominated for BAFTA awards for Best British Film and Best Debut by a British Writer\, Director or Producer\, Limbo deploys pitch perfect wit and crisp observation to shine a light on the hearts and lives of those at the centre of a crisis that most of us only experience through headlines. The UK Observer awarded it 5 stars\, describing it as “remarkably funny – a gentle\, empathic kind of humour”; The Guardian also gave it 5 stars: “witty\, poignant\, marvellously composed”. \nProceeds from this screening will be used to assist refugees recently released from detention in Australian hotels and Immigration Transit Accommodation (some of them having been detained for many years) with food\, accommodation\, phone and travel cards cards etc. \nLimbo is rated M

SUMMARY:THE DESERT SAID DANCE – Screening + Live Q&A presented by Garage Entertainment @ Byron Theatre
DESCRIPTION:WHEN:\nMay 26\, 2022 @ 7:30 pm – 9:45 pm\n\n\nWHERE:\nByron Theatre\n69 Jonson Street\nByron Bay NSW 2481\nAustralia\n\n\nCOST:\n$24.50\n\n\nCONTACT:\n\n\n Event website \n\n\n\n\n\n \nPLEASE NOTE\nThis event was previously scheduled for Friday 4th March but was postponed due to the extreme flooding situation across the Northern Rivers at the time. \nAll tickets issued for 4th March have been transferred to 26th May and ticket holders advised. \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \nMojave Productions\, Monster Children Films & Garage Entertainment present \nThe Desert Said Dance\nLive Q&A and Screening with Director & Producers – Hosted by Robbie Warden of The Good Ride Club. \nAnyone can enter the Baja 1000\, but not everyone finishes it.\nSome aren’t tough enough. Some don’t have bikes that are tough enough. And some make mistakes that take them out of the race. Sometimes\, tragically\, forever. This is a place where dreams go to die. Grand visions and hopes\, materialized\, but rarely sustained. The desert has this mysterious allure\, there is freedom\, solitude\, and opportunity. The desert is the unforgiving canvas of life\, and this is a story about the art of racing with it and against it. \nIts competitors are connected to the desert\, to their motorcycles\, and to each other. A trio of man\, nature and machine. Through this they find purpose. Flirting with death\, a 1000 mile dance in search of victory. Some cross the finish line\, others prevail\, but not all make it home. This is a celebration of tenacity\, and humankind’s unique ability to paint the world as we see it. For over 50 years\, this one-of-a-kind event has been a magnet to those brave and foolish enough to face one of the most challenging race courses in the world. \n“If there’s one moto movie you watch this year\, make it this one.”\nTransmoto \n“This film made me want to travel\, chasing my dreams.”\nTaylor Steele – Award-winning surf film director and producer \nDirector:\nLincoln Caplice \nCast:\nForrest Minchinton\, Colton Udall\, Derek Ausserbauer & Nic Garvin \nPresented by:\nMojave Productions in association with Monster Children Films \nProducers:\nHarrison Mark\, Forrest Minchinton & Jamil Hassan

SUMMARY:An Evening with Harry James Angus - Upper Main Arm Flood Fundraiser

For one as prolific and restless as Harry James Angus\, a whole year of emptiness can change the game in strange ways. \n “The home-time COVID imposed on me was at first very disturbing\, because like a lot of people\, it was the ruination of all my plans\,” he says. “But then something really good happened. Without that crazy cycle of making music and launching it and doing gigs and tours and festivals and all that strategic career stuff… all that was left was me and my creativity.” \nFor the first time in 20 years\, since he hitched his trumpet to a promising jazz party band called the Cat Empire in his hometown of Melbourne\, “I remembered what it felt like when creativity is just a game\,” he says. “It’s like playtime. You make music not because you’ve got a plan\, but because it’s fun.” \nFollowers is the first taste of where that playtime might be leading. A serpentine sideways dance of drums\, piano and trumpet with echo-chamber call-and-response vocals\, it’s a song about social media’s churning kaleidoscope of second-hand views. “Original thought and opinions are harder to come by\,” Harry observes. “It’s harder to arrive at the truth.” \nTo celebrate the release Harry will be playing shows right across the east coast and further afield. \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` \nThis concert is presented by Great Southern Nights in association with Story Baker and Byron Theatre \nGreat Southern Nights is a celebration of live music that takes place right across New South Wales. \nThe dynamic event features hundreds of COVID-safe performances at live music venues across Greater Sydney and regional NSW in March and April 2022. \nGreat Southern Nights is a NSW Government initiative\, delivered by Destination NSW in partnership with the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) to stimulate the revival of the State’s live music\, entertainment and hospitality sectors\, and in turn the NSW visitor economy\, in response to challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.\nFor more information\, please visit greatsouthernnights.com.au. \n \nYou can now redeem your Discover NSW vouchers online: \nComplete your ticket selection\, then at the Checkout Payment\, click on Want to redeem a Dine & Discover Voucher? and enter your Discover NSW voucher code.\n(valid until 30 June 2022) \nTo book wheelchair accessible seating\, contact the Theatre Box Office:\nEmail boxoffice@byroncentre.com.au
