SUMMARY:Everyday dignity: Philomena Essed
DESCRIPTION:Forty years ago\, scholar Philomena Essed sparked fierce public debate with her groundbreaking book\, Everyday Racism. Once seen as controversial\, the work is now recognised as a foundational text in the fight against racism. In this intimate and timely documentary\, filmmaker Ida Does follows Essed’s enduring journey as a pioneer\, thinker\, and bridge-builder between generations. The film explores what it takes to speak out for decades as a Black female scholar in a resistant society. And asks how one sustains that mission with grace\, wisdom\, and integrity?

SUMMARY:Possible landscapes
DESCRIPTION:‘Possible landscapes’ is a poignant exploration of intergenerational experiences of Caribbean environments\, filmed across two seasons in Trinidad and Tobago. Across sugarcane fields\, steep hillsides\, on fishing boats and through dying coral reefs\, the film presents intimate portraits of people in their daily lives and examines the impacts of colonial legacies\, post-independence aspirations\, and the evolving forces of extractivism.  A collaboration between filmmaker Kannan Arunasalam and professors Tao DuFour (Architecture) and Natalie Melas (Comparative Literature)\, it emerges from the research project Possible Landscapes: Documenting Environmental Experience in Trinidad and Tobago. Combining documentary and academic enquiry\, it foregrounds lived experience of landscape and environment.

SUMMARY:A mother apart
DESCRIPTION:How do you raise a child when your own mother abandoned you? In a remarkable story of healing and forgiveness\, Jamaican-American poet and LGBTQ+ activist Staceyann Chin\, renowned for performances in Def Poetry Slam and hit solo shows like MotherStruck!\, radically re-imagines the essential art of mothering. In seeking her elusive mother – a trail that leads to Brooklyn\, Montreal\, Cologne and\, finally\, Jamaica – Staceyann and her daughter forge a new sense of home.

SUMMARY:Seeing through the lens: MASTERCLASS
DESCRIPTION:Spanning geographies and generations\, Richard Fung’s body of work navigates identity\, memory\, and belonging across Trinidad\, Toronto\, and beyond. From exploring his Moruga-born mother’s life through the lens of postcolonial migration\, to tracing the journey of dal puri from Canada to Bihar\, to documenting queer Asian communities in Toronto – Fung’s films ask how we negotiate space\, visibility\, and relation. His subjects include the falsely accused\, the displaced\, the diasporic\, and the everyday – always treated with nuance and care.  \nIn this intimate session\, Fung shares excerpts from both his experimental and documentary films\, offering insight into the aesthetic and conceptual choices that shape his practice. He reflects on how visual storytelling can give ‘minor’ stories space to be seen and heard\, and how formal strategies – such as hybridity\, voice\, and fragmentation – can deepen our understanding of relationality. Whether mapping transnational journeys or quiet domestic moments\, Fung’s work challenges dominant frames and invites us to rethink how film can witness\, connect\, and intervene. \n. \n🎫 THIS MASTERCLASS IS AVAILABLE TO INDUSTRY PASS HOLDERS \n🔗 ALL ACCESS INDUSTRY PASSES ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE ONLY AT ISLAND eTICKETS \n🔗 26 SEPT. INDUSTRY DAY PASSES AVAILABLE AT ISLAND eTICKETS

SUMMARY:FREE UP
DESCRIPTION:Play isn’t an escape – it’s how you fight back\, stitch joy into the cracks\, and turn survival into style. Skating\, bubbling\, strutting\, remembering\, each act a form of improvisation\, a claim to space\, a refusal to vanish. From carnival queens to shuttered community centers\, this is play as pulse\, protest\, and possibility.
