About us

Telling our stories through our lens

When we left the South during the Great Migration, we left stories and culture behind. Hayti Film reclaims that legacy using the power of story to transform communities and enrich culture.

Honoring this culture and land invites us to envision a world where we can be our authentic selves. Hayti Film provides a creative and caring space that is intergenerational, intersectional, and serves to strengthen community.

What an amazing experience and equally amazing group of people! I cannot rave enough about how special this festival and its organizers are.

I have been lucky to be a part of this festival over the past few years, and love the way it is presented and operated. I strongly recommend people of color submitting to this festival and attending if you can.

Kudos to the entire team at Hayti Heritage Film Festival!! Great workshops, great movies, great time!!

The team created an incredible experience - looking forward to submitting again next year.
