The 11-day festival aims to embody Caribbean culture through the lens of filmmakers.

From September 4 – 7, the festival hosts the Market Incubator, which gives eight selected filmmakers an opportunity to hone their creative and business skills, through workshops and one‐on‐one mentoring by world-class specialists. It will culminate in a pitching session in front of international funders and buyers at the TIFF Bell Lightbox.
