By Benjamin Njoku

The dates are set for the highly anticipated 10th anniversary celebrations of the Caribbean Tales International Film Festival (CTFF). To the delight of fans, film aficionados and cultural connoisseurs, the famed festival returns to the exciting downtown Toronto core from September 9, 2015.

To kick-off this milestone celebration, organizers have announced this year’s theme as “Caribbean Spirit” which explores the extraordinary dynamism and diversity of Caribbean heritages, in all their myriad incarnations. The event will also include a retrospective of the best Caribbean-themed films of past years.

This year’s festival is headed by an impressive Steering Group of new and veteran CTFF associates including Trinidad and Tobago filmmaker Mandisa Pantin (Programming Co-ordinator), and Toronto-based digital storyteller Emmanuelle Pantin (Community Partnerships and Screenings Coordinator).

It brings together noted arts and media practitioners, industry programmer, Chloe Sosa Simms; producer, Lea Marin; filmmaker and writer, Elizabeth Topp; fund raising and grants specialist, Lauren Mohammed; cultural communicator, Stephen Weir; marketer, Louise Noel Ambrose; gender equality activist, Stephanie Leitch; and cultural entrepreneur, Frank Francis. The full Who’s-Who of CTFF 2015 is on the festival’s newly revamped website.
