The Timehri Film Festival (TFF) is calling for Guyanese and Caribbean filmmakers to submit works that will be considered for showing at the upcoming 6th TFF from July 9-11.

TFF is an annual Guyanese and Caribbean film festival that celebrates the work of Guyanese and Caribbean filmmakers in the region throughout the diaspora. This is the sixth year of the festival and this year’s event will be having screenings online. Socially distant, in-person screenings are to be decided, a statement from the TFF said and will be held as the pandemic and Covid-19 restrictions permit.

We are looking for the best and brightest in Guyanese, Caribbean, and Caribbean Indigenous film to share with Guyana and the rest of the world.

“Documentaries, narratives, animation, shorts and feature-length films are all welcome. The only requirements are that (1) your film is made in or about Guyana or by a filmmaker of
Guyanese heritage; or (2) made in or about the Caribbean Indigenous communities, or by Indigenous filmmakers,”the statement said.

Presented by Third Horizon, a Miami-based Caribbean media collective, and headed up by Festival Director Melissa Roberts, TFF has showcased many Guyanese films and filmmakers
over the years. From Kojo McPherson and Stephon Bristol to Chelsi Odufu and Gavin Ramoutar. Who is the next Guyanese local or diasporan with a story to tell? Submit your film
today for a chance to share your work with the world.

We’ve extended the submission deadline to April 29, 2021. Head over to: filmfreeway.com/TimehriFilmFestival and submit your film today.
