The CYFF, produced by Dove Productions, enters its 12th year in 2025, building on a decade-long legacy of empowering young Caribbean storytellers. Since rebranding in 2016 as a truly regional event, participation has grown “from local to regional” with youth filmmakers from across the Eastern Caribbean and beyond.
In 2024, for example, participants engaged in a three-week intensive film workshop, learning screenwriting, directing, editing and more from industry mentors. Under the theme “Folk Tale Chronicles,” students drew on St. Lucian folklore to produce original short films.
The film festival begins with its new cohort on August 05th to 15th 2025, hosting a number of workshops in the areas of writing scripts, storyboarding scenes, shooting on location and editing final projects.
The Caribbean Youth Film Festival continues to celebrate youth creativity, cultural heritage, and community impact.
At Cadasse Bakery, we are happy to support The Caribbean Youth Film Festival and to be one of their sponsors this year.
As a company, we remain committed to the development of young people and to supporting programs that have a sustainable and impactful legacy.
We wish the CYFF organizers, contributors and participants a successful 2025 festival.
