ADIFF 2023 WINNER Public Award for the Best Feature Film Directed by a Woman of Color

Shantaye's World by Marhurine Emmanuel wins ADIFF  2023 Public Award  for the  Best Film Directed  By a Woman of Color!

Shantaye Anderson is bold, black, beautiful, intelligent, and  passionate about  love. Born in rural St.  Lucia during post-colonial times, she falls in love with a young man deemed not  appropriate for her and is sent to war ravaged England, still reeling after World  War II.

A film of romance, drama, and strength. A story  that highlights the beauty of Caribbean culture  and  tells the story of every Caribbean migrant.

This film will screen in THE BEST OF ADIFF from Jan 12-14, 2024!
