SOUNDS AND PRESSURE : FILM SCREENING, PANEL DISCUSSION, AND PARTY! | FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7TH, 2025
Join CKUT at the NFB for a special screening of Sounds & Pressure: Reggae in a Foreign Land!
A vibrant celebration of the Caribbean diaspora and culture in Canada – an unforgettable night of film, music, food, and community.

The event will feature a screening of the film series Sounds & Pressure, followed by a live panel discussion with the directors, Chris Flanagan and Graeme Mathieson, alongside Montreal’s own. Together, they’ll delve into how the culture has thrived through the power of sound and community.
