SCREEN SHARE 2026

Explore the Festival Programme

The 2026 Screen Share programme reveals a region in conversation with itself—through memory and myth, resistance and resilience, grief and joy. Across documentaries, narrative films, experimental works and animated stories, we encounter artists, activists, elders, dreamers and ordinary people confronting inherited wounds and tapping into inherited wisdom. The films at Screen Share explore the enduring legacies of colonialism, migration, environmental injustice and displacement, while celebrating the cultural traditions, creative practices and collective struggles that continue to sustain Caribbean life.

Wed, Sept 9 – We Reach!

9:00PM-11:30PM | Dundas West Studio

Becoming ourselves, together, self-discovery rooted in community.

Screen Share presents Loneliness Doesn't Come Alone, directed by Amanda Valle and screening on Sept. 13!
A little girl moves through days that repeat themselves — the same gestures, the same endless waiting — held in place by a promise that stays suspended in the void. In this time that seems stuck within itself, loneliness slowly expands until it becomes the true protagonist.
A quietly aching short about childhood, absence, and the weight of waiting. 🇩🇴

Screen Share presents Kankantri, directed by Gabri Christa, and screening on Sept. 13!
A woman steps into a sacred place of worship and is drawn into a parallel world inhabited by her ancestors.
Unable to leave, she's pulled deeper through ritual, dance, music, and ceremony. What begins as fear slowly becomes surrender, then understanding, as generations of spirits reconnect her with forgotten histories and inherited memory.
A dreamlike, movement-driven meditation on ancestry, identity, and belonging.
