Films That Move… Presents

Folklore & Memory: The Stories That Shape Us

This edition explores folklore as living memory — a psychological, cultural, and emotional inheritance.

We welcome films that engage with:
• Caribbean, African and Worldwide folklore, myth, and oral tradition
• Ancestral stories passed down for protection, warning, or healing
• The role of myth in processing fear, grief, and identity
• The blurred line between belief, memory, and the mind
• How old stories continue to shape who we are today

Folklore is not just history — it is how communities remember, survive, and make meaning of the world.

An unforgettable afternoon of powerful films, meaningful conversations, and healing through storytelling.

From idea to script. From script to screen.

Spend the morning leveling up, then stay for the films!
