Dunja Fehimovic and I founded Caribbean Film Forum in 2021, after Mapping New Caribbean Cinema, our symposium at the Global Film Festival in Santo Domingo in 2020. Since COVID prevented us from returning to Santo Domingo in 2021, we started this series of online conversations to keep on talking about Caribbean film. Some are in English, some in Spanish. The titles indicate the language. Check out these talks with filmmakers, film festival directors, film professors, and others from across the region, and beyond. I'll post a new video every Thursday.
