With a mission to support the conservation and restoration of the Barbados Museum and the Historic Garrison District within the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Barbados, the pairing’s vision is to invigorate and appreciation for heritage and historic sites through the arts in the area. The WGBFFT mission is to manage the Film Festival, providing the platform for initiatives that support arts, education, highlighting the link between the environment, human well-being, fortitude and resilience. The festival annually, through an international call for works seeks novel storytelling that ignites passion in the audience. Led by inspiring Founders Dr. Sir Trevor Carmichael & Jennifer Smith Bent the festival evokes aspirations to a better future. Both the Walled Garden Film Festival Trust and the Walled Garden Theatre Trust are charitable trusts.
