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.
