About the screening

The digital revolution has seen a blossoming of Caribbean filmmaking, but these films remain mostly unseen in the UK, leaving potential audiences underserved. Caribbean Calling seeks to address this. A dynamic and diverse selection of short contemporary fiction films from the islands, presented by Derby Film Festival and curated by the Twelve30 Collective, it offers a valuable, nuanced understanding of the region and its diaspora.
