The Festival takes place in cities that, due to their geographical location or vocation, have the proposed themes at heart and that intercept the interest and consensus of a large audience of cinephiles, hikers and enthusiasts. The initiatives prove to be a privileged opportunity to make known the richness of the territories and the history of their people through the eyes of directors sensitive to these issues.
The purpose of the festival is to celebrate the blending of the Caribbean and the diaspora cultures and talent to create unique and outstanding work and to raise global awareness of the new renaissance of filmmaking and music production that the Caribbean basin is currently experiencing.
The festival also aims to celebrate all filmmakers and welcomes a limited number of submissions from our international friends.
The festival will also serve as a celebration of the host island's culture.
