ARCHIVE 2022 – Hairouna Film Festival

HFF 2022 Recap

After the fully online edition of the festival in 2021, the HFF team leant into the challenge of putting on a hybrid festival in 2022, hosting both online and in person events between May 6 and 21st.

The 2022 Festival Theme ‘Coming Home’ acknowledged the collective social struggles endured during the Covid pandemic. Our creative team dug into the look and textures of a typical Vincentian home for this imagery as a means to celebrate what is close, safe, relatable and what is intrinsically ours.

Fashion is Payne

Our 2022 shirt was something special. Inspired by the famous ‘doily’; a fixture in every traditional Caribbean home, this shirt was the result of a collaboration with Vincentian fashion designer Jeremy Payne, also know as ‘Fashion Is Payne’.

HFF 2022 launched with the renowned Jamaican film ‘Sprinter’ by writer/ director Storm Saulter, produced by Will Smith’s company Overbrook productions. See the post screening Q & A between Festival Director Aiko Roudette and Storm Saulter here
