Animae Caribe is a powerful celebration of the art of animation rooted in the vibrant traditions and stories of the Caribbean. In 2025, we proudly celebrate the storytellers, artists, and animators who are weaving the spirit of the Caribbean into every frame and every scene. Animae Caribe has evolved into much more than a festival — it is a dynamic platform that connects Caribbean talent with international buyers, agents, producers, and distributors, creating bridges between our local creativity and the global market. With a strategic focus on amplifying authentic Caribbean stories and indigenous voices, Animae Caribe is proud to position our region’s animators and filmmakers on the world stage. Through this, we help unlock new opportunities for growth, recognition, and cultural pride for T&T and the wider Caribbean. For over 24 years, our guests have experienced not only the traditional festival celebrations but also the flavors, rhythms, and ancestral stories that make the Caribbean unlike anywhere else. We welcome the rest of the world to join us as we continue #RerootingOurStories and celebrate #AnimaeCaribe24 Years of creativity, resilience, and cultural excellence.

At the #massive Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF2023) in Egypt, organized by the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) under the CreativeAfricaNexus, I had the distinct honor of being part of a pivotal discussion titled “The Future of Animation, is Africa Prepared?” It was an immense privilege to be included among such a distinguished panel of industry leaders and visionaries, representing the Caribbean within this vibrant conversation about Africa’s animation future.
Our panel was composed of remarkable professionals: Ebele Okoye of Jolly Squid Media & Animation from Nigeria, John Kamara, the global CEO of Adanian Labs and Ada Animation in Kenya, Mahmoud Hemeda, CEO/Co-founder of Samaka Studio and the Animatex Animation Festival in Egypt, Amath Ndiaye, a pioneering Senegalese animator and CEO of Obelus Film & Animation Studio, Comfort Arthur, award-winning director and CEO of @The Comfy Studios in Ghana, and Stuart Forrest, CEO of Triggerfish.
