The Hope & Bridges Association is delighted to announce the call for entries for the second edition of the Kreyol International Film Festival (KIFF), which will take place from September 26 to 29, 2024, in Paris. This unique and generalist festival celebrates and highlights the cultures, histories, philosophies, and environments of the Creole worlds, offering an international stage for cinematic works of exceptional richness and diversity.

Who can participate?

The Kreyol International Film Festival is open to all filmmakers, regardless of origin or nationality, whether they are Creole speakers or not. Your film is welcome if it explores, directly or metaphorically, themes related to the Creole Worlds and reflects the authenticity and depth of these cultures. Our festival provides an international stage to showcase diverse talents and unique perspectives. Whether you are an established or emerging director, we invite you to share your vision and voice through your art.

Locations and perspectives

We warmly welcome films shot in any region of the world, but particular attention will be given to works produced and filmed in Creole-speaking regions. Whether your films are rooted in traditional narratives or explore contemporary or dystopian perspectives, your contribution is vital to enrich the dialogue and understanding of Creole cultures.

Diversity of characters

We also encourage the participation of films where the main and secondary characters are of Creole origin, thus highlighting the diversity of the communities.

A stage for Creole voices and beyond

The Kreyol International Film Festival celebrates the global reach of Creole cultures and its 127 Creole languages of various lexical bases (French, English, Portuguese, Dutch, etc.). Particular attention will be given to films in original Creole language – with subtitles – but this is not an exclusive condition. All languages are welcome.

Why participate?

The Kreyol International Film Festival is an exceptional platform to showcase your work, network with film professionals from around the world, and be part of an event that celebrates cultural diversity and richness. It's a unique opportunity to make your creation shine and contribute to a better understanding and appreciation of Creole cultures.

We are looking for works that challenge, educate, and inspire, while celebrating the universality of Creole expression. We eagerly anticipate discovering your works and sharing them with a passionate and diverse audience at this second edition of KIFF.
