CaribbeanTales International Film Festival celebrates 20 years

THE CaribbeanTales International Film Festival (CTFF), an event showcasing Caribbean and diaspora cinema in North America, proudly announces its 20th anniversary edition, from September 3-13 in Toronto, and online worldwide from September 3 to October 3.

Under the theme Resilience in Motion, this milestone festival will celebrate two decades of transformative storytelling from across the Caribbean region and its global diaspora with 49 incredible films. Programming will include premieres, retrospectives, talkbacks, tributes, and a global virtual component, underscoring CTFF’s commitment to elevating under-represented voices in film.

Founded in 2006 by Frances-Anne Solomon, award-winning filmmaker and advocate for diverse cinema, CTFF has grown into an internationally recognised platform for Caribbean filmmakers. Over the past two decades, the festival has screened more than 1,000 films, supported hundreds of creators, and played a critical role in shifting how Caribbean narratives are represented on screen.

“This 20th anniversary is both a celebration and a call to action,” Solomon, who is also the founder and executive director of CaribbeanTales Media Group (CTMG) said. “We look back on a generation of ground-breaking films and look ahead to a vibrant future where Caribbean stories continue to redefine the global cinematic landscape.”
