The Meeting Place, In Byron Bay Today's Weekend Review. We were treated to a sneak preview of the Rest Your Eyes production, Byron Bay, The Meeting Place, this week. Firstly congratulations to Jonathon & Sebastian Lundmark plus Oliver Certa for a beautiful and slick production. The film has some good interviews, social history and great cinematography etc. It is a truly remarkable piece of work for a first time feature. I particularly enjoyed seeing some timely reminders of why we all love this place. Yet I left the screening with a few nagging questions in the back of my mind. Is this really a documentary or a tourism marketing tool? Are there aspects of life in Byron Bay that were simply ignored or at the very least glossed over? What exactly are the motives behind this film? There is no denying that Byron Bay 'The Meeting Place' is indeed a beautiful piece of work. It's just that at times it's a little confusing as to whether it is a documentary, a tourism marketing tool or just a beautiful representation of how the Lundmark brothers perceive life, In Byron Bay Today. Byron Bay 'The Meeting Place' will be screening at the Byron Bay Community Centre on November 30th.
