Despite its title, this festival will bring films from all over the world — coming from the likes of Venezuela, Guadeloupe and the United Kingdom — but they all share their focus on Caribbean culture and identity. On Sunday during the festival, there will be a brunch catered by local restaurant Jerk Hut. The event will be at the Community Folk Art Center this weekend through Sunday. The complete schedule of all nine films can be accessed on the Community Folk Art Center’s website.
