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!
