The Timehri Film Festival (TFF) which showcases Guyanese and Caribbean films, and is produced by the Caribbean Film Academy and Rewind and Come Again, will host the second edition of the Festival.
TFF’s annual celebration of regional storytellers and artistes, brings together filmmakers, film lovers and artistes in the beautiful city of Georgetown, Guyana from May 31 through June 4.
Over the five days of the Festival, TFF will screen over 26 feature and short films, representing 14 different countries. 
For this year’s Festival, TFF is pleased to partner with Trinidad and Tobago’s Green Screen Environmental Film Festival and Iwokrama, to present a special screening of films highlighting environmental issues of particular significance to the Caribbean.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with local environmental activists and media artists, as well as Carver Bacchus, Founder and Director of Green Screen.
As part of the Festival this year, screenings will also be held at different locations around the country – the Children’s Drop-In Center in Sophia, the Berbice Women’s Prison, New Amsterdam; the Lusignan Men’s Prison, East Coast Demerara (ECD); St Cuthbert’s Mission, Mahaica, ECD; the University of Guyana, and the Business School, Georgetown.
These screenings are designed to share the films with even wider audiences and provide opportunities for the use of film not only as a storytelling tool, but also as a therapeutic tool.
The Festival will see the premiere of “Adero,” the short film shot on location in Guyana and directed by Kojo McPherson.
The film was made as a part of the Caribbean Film Project, and is the first of the initial four films made, to be completed.
The Festival will also feature a collection of some of the best short and feature length films in and around the Caribbean. In addition to “Adero,” the Guyana Shorts section will feature films by Diaspora filmmakers of Guyanese heritage.
Screenings will take place at The Moray House Trust and Dutch Bottle Café, and are free of charge and open to the public. The Festival opened on May 31 at Moray House Trust where “Adero” was screened.
