Many thanks to Veerle Poupeye for reminding us that the 5th Annual Windrush Caribbean Film Festival (WCFF) is in progress. Celebrating the contributions of the Windrush generation and their descendants through engaging film screenings, talkbacks, interviews and workshops, the festival opened on June 13 and will run through June 30, 2024.

76 Years of Black British Cinema: The Windrush Caribbean Film Festival (WCCF) seeks to engage and educate audiences across the UK about the contributions of the Windrush generation and their descendants to the country through film screenings, talkbacks, interviews and workshops.

 WCFF 2024 takes place 13-30 June 2024: This year, the Windrush Caribbean Film Festival celebrates its 5th year as a Caribbean-focused film festival in the UK. The theme for WCFF 2024 is Transitions & Travels – The Journey continues.

Caribbean history is punctuated by archetypical movements – From villages to towns, from islands to Metropoles. By ships and planes. A festival of transitions and journeys in film and narratives. This is particularly embodied in the history of the Windrush ship that brought Caribbean people, their hopes and dreams to the UK and their journeys ever since, from home and in the European space they made their own.
