The
Jamaican Reggae Film Festival is run entirely by volunteers and each
year has to raise enough money to cover the running costs of the
event. This is why we find it of great importance for film makers to
have the options to be able to help us back if they wish, by allowing
us to screen their film entry at some of our small film screening
between festivals.These "Best Of The Reggae Film Festival"
events, which we run both in Jamaica and Europe, help raise funds to
keep the Reggae Film Festival going. There is no obligation for any
film maker to provide the RFF with permission for screening outside
of the main festival, but we'd like to thank all those who are able
to help us in this way, as this forms a big part of our fund raising
for the next RFF.
