To Celebrate the CarribeanTales Film Festival’s 18th year CTFF in partnership with Hot Docs is proud to co-present Patty vs. Party, a For Viola film featuring works by Jamaican Canadian director (and #CTFF alumnus!) @chrisstrikes and British-Grenadian-Trinidadian master Steve McQueen. On Saturday, August 12, Chris' Canadian Screen Award-winning short PATTY VS. PATTY will precede a first-ever Canadian theatrical presentation of LOVERS ROCK, from McQueen's award-winning SMALL AXE anthology.
This joyful double bill invites you to revisit the 1980s, where West Indian enclaves in Toronto and London showed irrepressible resilience and made enduring contributions to the wider culture—not least via their finger-licking flavours and waistline-stirring basslines.
