The Ministry of Culture, Gender and Entertainment & Sport in collaboration with the National Library of Jamaica and the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association, will be screening ‘Reggae Films in the Park’ over three nights at Emancipation Park, St Andrew during as part of February’s Reggae Month activities.
More than 150 Reggae festivals are held annually in countries around the world, and the fans of artistes who perform on them want to know more about them and about how they make their music.
Accordingly, filmmakers have been producing hundreds of documentaries that introduce the artistes, tell their stories and share their music, creating a new genre of films now labelled “Reggae Films”.
The Emancipation Park screenings will take place on February 8, 15 and 22 and will add to the variety of activities that fill the Reggae Month calendar.
