Our Origin Story
Born out of the esteemed Greater August Town Film Project, now reimagined as the UWI Community Film Project, GATFFEST has emerged as a cinematic celebration like no other. Our journey began with a visionary mission – to provide a dedicated platform for the exceptionally talented graduates of the UWI Community Film Project to unveil their cinematic creations. The inaugural Greater August Town Film Festival (GATFFEST), held from June 20-23, 2013, mesmerized audiences with a captivating array of films meticulously crafted by the community's aspiring filmmakers. The festival's vibrant atmosphere resonated across The University of the West Indies and the prestigious Palace Cineplex theatre.
