With the endless summer breeze and the sweet sound of steel pan Toronto’s Royal Cinema opens its door as host of the 9th Annual Caribbean Tales, a calabash full of pulsating Caribbean cinema from Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, Jamaica, Barbados to name a few.
Opening the Fest is none other than the legendary ” Mighty Sparrow”. The iconic Calypsonian will sit as panelist for feature of Geoffrey Dunn’s “The Glamour Boyz Again! Sparrow and Superior On The Hilton Rooftop”, reminiscing and celebrating a friendship spanning five decades, and unforgettable performances of course.
Jamaican director Mary Wells brings “Jamaican Paradise” to the fest. In this rough and raw docudrama one travels the ghettos of Kingston through the eyes of a street hustler “with a picture and a dream”.
The Fest Runs from September 7 – 14, 2014 and also host the “Incubator”, a screen writers forum. With Sparrow as spectacular opening Alison Hinds will bring the Fest to a close with sizzling on screen appearance in Shakirah Bourne & Ricky Redmans’ “Too Smart”.
This is a Fest not to be missed. More to come…
