Join us during CARIFF Weekend for a timely breakfast conversation exploring the powerful role film can play in documenting hurricanes, preserving the experiences of affected communities, raising awareness, and helping the Caribbean prepare, recover and rebuild.

Beyond the Storm: Film, Preparedness & Hurricane Recovery brings together filmmakers and cultural storytellers whose work captures the human impact of natural disasters and the resilience of Caribbean communities.

🎥 Ina Sotirova — Filmmaker behind Sisters & The Storm, documenting stories of survival, recovery and resilience following a devastating hurricane.

🎥 Donisha Prendergast — Filmmaker, activist and cultural storyteller bringing a Caribbean perspective to conversations surrounding community, heritage and resilience.

🎥 Aleca King — Filmmaker behind Inside Hurricane Melissa | Jamaica Strong, documenting Hurricane Melissa and its impact on Jamaica. 🇯🇲

Together, the panel will explore what happens after the cameras leave, how filmmakers can responsibly document communities during times of crisis, the importance of hurricane preparedness, and how storytelling can keep recovery efforts and affected communities visible long after a storm has passed.
