Ti-Kreyollywood is a quarterly event dedicated to short films, held before and after the Kréyol International Film Festival (KIFF) to which it is affiliated. The aim is to provide a second chance for short films that were not selected for KIFF and to offer a new opportunity for older productions that deserve to be seen in this context.

Please note that if your film is produced after January 1, 2020, you will participate in the Kreyol International Film Festival (KIFF2026), which will take place from September 26 to 30, 2026, in Paris.
