Caribbean Day at the Marché du Film was a success.

As a proud sponsor of this year’s Caribbean Day, the British Virgin Islands Film Commission joined regional film commissions, filmmakers, producers, actors and creatives from across the Caribbean to celebrate the power of Caribbean storytelling on the global stage at the Festival de Cannes.

From engaging panel discussions and networking opportunities to cultural showcases and industry connections, the event highlighted the Caribbean’s growing influence within the international film industry while positioning the Virgin Islands as a filming location. 🇻🇬

The conversations sparked, partnerships formed and stories shared throughout the day reinforced one message that the Caribbean has a powerful place in global cinema, and the Virgin Islands is proud to be part of that movement.

Special thanks to Mark Walton of Onyx Global Media for the opportunity to be part of such an impactful event and for helping to create a space where Caribbean creatives and destinations could shine together on the international stage. 🙌🏾
