Always a special time on the island! Please help a good cause!

BE AN ANGEL:PLEASE SUPPORT THE 25thST BARTH FILM FESTIVALMay 4-7, 2022www.stbarthff.org

Founded in 1996, the St Barth Film Festival has become one of the major cultural events on the island. Dedicated to Caribbean Cinema, the festival shows up to a dozen films each year in late April/ early May in outdoor settings including the cinema at AJOE in Lorient, the Port of Gustavia, or the beach in Flamands, as well as indoor afternoon screenings at the Theatre du Paradis in Gustavia. All of the films are in French or have French sub-titles so that they are accessible to the island audience. The video screenings are free to the public in order to attract the largest audience possible and best promote Caribbean cinema.
Since 1996, the festival has created one of the few existing crossroads for Caribbean filmmakers to meet with their colleagues from Europe and the United States and share ideas about filmmaking. This unique forum appeals to filmmakers who do not often have the opportunity to meet and discuss their work in an informal festival setting such as St. Barth.
We have also developed an annual film-in-the-schools program. In addition to showing films and taking film professionals to speak with students in island schools. This is a very rewarding exchange for the students and the filmmakers.
The St. Barth Film Festival receives support from the local government of St. Barthélemyas well as the regional bureau of the French Ministry of Culture (DAC Guadeloupe). But as we expand our annual activities, we need to increase our funding with private donations, and public funds are limited to 50% of our annual budget.
All of the people involved in the organization of the St. Barth Film Festival are volunteers, and come from as far away as the US, France, Guadeloupe, and other Caribbean islands to make the festival possible. Your help will support their efforts. Be a Friend, a VIP, a Patron, or a Producer and be part of the cultural life of St. Barth!

A-N-D, if you're ever on the island during the Film Festival consider coming to support the event (most screenings are free.) Help celebrate the rich culture of Caribbean film, and meet some of the region's most talented film-makers. Outdoor venues, free admission, Q&A with visiting film-makers, local talent and esteemed organizers.

Totally agree, Peter! Such a worthy island event . . . with inestimable time & effort in producing it.
 
My check is in the mail! Don't miss out on a great commemorative tee-shirt and hat!
 
Phil has a wonderful film festival tee shirt collection as well. I managed to grab the orange cap a few years ago!
 
Thanks everyone, now we pray for no rain next week ....

Hello there!

Kona and I would like to also make whatever contribution we normally do. A simple hand over to you works for us. Now to just make a plan to meet up!
 
. . . loving that you made it to 25, Ellen . . . despite four years of plague & two years of pandemic!

I’ve been asked to explain what was meant by “four years of plague & two years of pandemic.” It was a reference to President Biden’s quip at Saturday’s annual gathering of the Washington Press Association . . . always a “roast” of politicians & guests. Biden was explaining why he was the first President to appear at the dinner in six years.

Your "shout out" to corporate sponsors, Ellen, of course is well deserved. I'd simply like to materially highlight ". . . all the wonderful people who support the festival." I'm not sure what percentage of overhead is covered by contributions of wonderful people, but as a contributor, I hope that it's meaningful to the marvelous community program that you, Rosemond, and Josh marshal for island cultural engagement.

Here is a more complete list of our donors... the individual donations are a huge help as we have very little operating capital, as it were, but the donations of hotel rooms and meals for the filmmakers are really what makes it possible, as we could never raise enough money to put people at Le Sereno, Christopher, Le Village, etc.... (if anyone on the forum made a donation this year and is not on the list, please let me know asap so we can double check):
