Welcome back to Soleil Space's Short FIlm Saturday. This week we chat with Clish Gittens from Barbados and BecX from Jamaica, two amazing filmmakers.

Clish Gittens is a visual anthropologist who seeks to capture the unique lived experiences and stories of Caribbean people. Through his lens, he is able to share the stories of Caribbean livelihoods, culture, habitats, and environmental changes to bring awareness to Caribbean sustainability from an island perspective. In the realm of cinema, Clish is a multiple award-winning Caribbean filmmaker, who has won regional and international awards for his advocacy through eco-documentaries. Through art, his purpose is to tell Caribbean stories through Caribbean lenses.

Becx is a filmmaker, photographer, writer and painter based in Kingston, Jamaica.

She recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) with a B.F.A in Film and TV Production. She is currently pursuing a MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Oxford. Her work is firmly rooted in her Jamaican heritage, as she explores the complexities of youth, culture and the global human experience. Becx’s work can be found in Blanc Magazine, MILK.xyz, Format Magazine, Nike, Pitchfork, FADER, Apple Music, TIDAL and Spotify.
