Animae Caribe Festival in Port of Spain
Animae Caribe is a Caribbean animation and creative-industries festival based in Port of Spain, running screenings, workshops, panels and showcases for the region's animators, alongside a year-round House platform, an AC Toon Marketplace for selling animated work, and a dedicated Tobago Edition that extends the programming beyond the capital each year.
Animation in the Caribbean has historically meant one thing to most audiences: imported cartoons from North American or Japanese studios, watched on television but rarely made locally, let alone celebrated as a regional art form in its own right.
