The story

Guyana Film Festival in Georgetown

A youth-organized Caribbean and Global South film showcase held over three evenings at St Rose's High School's Guyana Auditorium, growing out of the organizers' ongoing monthly screening series. It pairs narrative and documentary selections with filmmaker Q&As rather than functioning as a passive screening event.

Three evenings of Caribbean narrative and documentary film filled St Rose's High School's Guyana Auditorium when the Georgetown Film Festival held its second annual edition, screening work that its organizers, a group of young Guyanese creatives, selected specifically to reflect contemporary concerns of filmmakers across the region rather than imported commercial cinema.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's defining trait is its curatorial identity: selections are drawn deliberately from across the Caribbean and the wider Global South rather than mainstream festival-circuit titles, reflecting the organizers' stated mission to share stories and drive change through film

02

The mystery stays covered

Filmmaker presence for post-screening discussion is built into the format rather than an occasional add-on, giving the small-scale event a direct-access feel that larger, more commercial festivals rarely offer to a general audience of students and film enthusiasts
