Festival Guide 2017
The objective of the Barbados Visual Media Festival is to celebrate the work of local, regional and international independent film makers while being a catalyst for the development of the Barbadian visual media industry. The Festival not only features the screening of local, regional and international content but it also includes a 48 Hour Film Challenge, Industry Workshops as well as the Industry Awards for Films in Barbados (ViMAs). This festival is extremely important as it gives local filmmakers a platform to have their films shown, it gives them feedback, it helps them to improve, it facilitates networking with other players in the industry which could potentially birth future projects and it gives them the tools to get their content out to the world.
