Our Stories are Universal

The Georgetown Film Festival is a platform dedicated to elevating authentic Guyanese and Caribbean storytelling. Through curated in-person screenings, filmmaker engagement and community dialogue, we create space for stories that reflect who we are. At its core, the festival is about building connection, identity, and a lasting film culture in Guyana. Our annual festival occurs in-person in the month of August.
