The Greater August Town Film Festival (GATFFEST) will celebrate its 14th anniversary with an expanded programme of screenings, workshops, and special events, reinforcing its position as one of Jamaica’s leading platforms for emerging filmmakers, cultural exchange, and the showcasing of Jamaican, Caribbean, and international cinema.
Acknowledged as the Caribbean’s premier short-film festival, the event officially kicks off on May 16 with a Community Film Night in Port Royal. A full week of activities subsequently gets underway May 30 through to June 7.
Since its inception, GATFFEST has served as an important incubator for local and regional talent, providing filmmakers with opportunities to showcase their work, connect with audiences, and engage with the broader creative industry. This year’s festival programme reflects that enduring mission while also honouring the legacy the organisation has built over more than a decade.
