The CaribbeanTales International Film Festival (CTFF), North America’s premier showcase of Caribbean and diaspora cinema, officially launches the full program for its 20th anniversary edition. Taking place in Toronto from Wednesday September 3rd to Saturday September 13th, 2025, and streaming worldwide until October 3rd, the festival features 49 films that celebrate the depth, diversity and resilience of Caribbean storytelling. The in-person events will take place at CTFF’s The Hub located at 837 Dundas St West.
Under the theme “Resilience in Motion,” this milestone edition includes premieres, retrospectives, talkbacks, and special events. Tickets are now available for all in-person and online screenings, and media accreditation is officially open.
Founded in 2006 by Frances-Anne Solomon, an award-winning filmmaker and champion for inclusive cinema, CTFF has grown into an internationally respected platform for Caribbean filmmakers. Over the past two decades, the festival has screened more than 1000 films, amplified underrepresented voices, and reshaped how Caribbean stories are seen and valued on screen.
The fact that we are celebrating our 20th anniversary reflects how far we’ve come as a people and how powerful our stories are,” says Solomon, Founder and Executive Director of CaribbeanTales Media Group. “It is a tribute to the voices that continue to shape and inspire the Caribbean diaspora.”
