Our biannual series, done in partnership with Luminal Theater and Third Horizon, returns for a weekend of richly diverse cinema from the brightest Caribbean filmmakers. The fall showcase features a documentary about a Cuban musical legend; a wandering portrait of Canarsie, Brooklyn; and a shorts program of new work by filmmakers from across the Caribbean and its diaspora.

Join us for filmmaker Q&As following the screenings.
