 MISSION
AND VISION

The Garifuna Film Festival is a vehicle that allows
Garifuna and all indigenous people to showcase the
culture and traditional art forms rarely seen outside of
their region.

The Festival seeks to preserve and share the Garifuna
and global indigenous cultures through feature films,
documentaries, art, music, and dance, workshops, and
performances.

The visual images are archived as part of the Festival’s
mission to curate and educate communities about
these wonderful, thriving cultures – some of which are
in danger of extinction.
