The Caribbean's first sci-fi film: Trafik D'info

Considered the first science fiction film to be shot in the Caribbean, this futuristic short film draws on Guadeoupean history and blasts forward into a world of technology and censorship.

Set in a dissident neighborhood of a small island in the Caribbean, Jouwa, the film follows a young agent of a rebel organisation who are trying to spread information that is being concealed by larger media systems.

The film draws on 1802 when Guadeloupeans fought for their freedom and many died fighting against the empire of Napoleon Bonaparte. “Trafik d’info” is creole for “Trade of Information” and takes its roots from this unknown part of the little history of Guadeloupe.

The short is a manifest, honoring those men and women who gave their lives for posterity. For the sake of life transmission and the legacy of ancestors, “Trafik d’Info” invites viewers into a reflexion about power and media information control in people’s life today.
