After a successful 2020 online edition, AC21 returns with blended options. All of its programs and conferences will be available on various platforms, from VR experiences on Alt Space and High Fidelity to Hopin and traditional Zoom platforms. In 2020 there was an increase of 500% in attendance with online access, so this year they would be conducting blended options COVID permitted. “For our 20th Anniversary, we really wanted to make a huge statement and also demonstrate the tangible outcomes over the years. The ‘Project Re-Root’ and other amazing events at Animae Caribe 2021, were designed to encourage global participation and to make AC21 a preferred festival destination. It will continue to be a space for networking, screening and industry exposure, but also an amazing opportunity to experience the Caribbean #islandlifebliss through inter-island online events. The three days of conferences, screenings, and receptions will culminate in a fantastic ‘in person’ and VR closing ceremony on the Island of Tobago” says Camille Selvon Abrahams, AC founding director.
