Where SIDS Filmmakers Show Us Their World Through Short Films
Blue Futures Film Fest is a pioneering platform for creatives from Small Island Developing States (SIDS), to share their stories through visual storytelling. It offers a space for filmmakers aged 18-35 from SIDS across the Caribbean, Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans to address environmental and climate challenges unique to SIDS and to present aspirational narratives of overcoming these obstacles. Aligned with the UN Conference on SIDS, and the goals of World Environment Day, and World Ocean Day, this film festival empowers emerging talents to explore and advocate for environmental issues through short films created on mobile phones. Participants capture the essence of their surroundings, highlighting ecological conservation efforts and celebrating the rich biodiversity of SIDS. The festival aims to raise awareness about environmental concerns while showcasing the cultural significance of SIDS heritage. Merging creativity with advocacy encourages the next generation to become stewards of their environment and cultural legacy, fostering a sense of pride and responsibility for a sustainable future.
