About this Event
Join us for a special screening of Smile Orange as part of the Hidden Beach Summer of Culture.
Directed by Michael Tait, Smile Orange is a sharp and witty Jamaican comedy that offers a satirical look at life within the island's tourist industry. Starring Carl Bradshaw, the film follows Ringo, a charismatic hotel worker who relies on his charm and quick thinking to navigate the expectations of guests, employers and the realities of everyday life.
Funny, insightful and unmistakably Caribbean, the film explores themes of identity, class, tourism and survival with warmth, humour and social commentary. A cult favourite of Jamaican cinema, Smile Orange provides both laughter and a thought-provoking perspective on the social and economic forces shaping island life.
Following the screening, guests are invited to stay for an informal Film + Conversation session, offering the opportunity to reflect on the film's themes, share perspectives and explore its lasting cultural relevance.
This event is part of Hidden Beach's Film + Conversation Night series, celebrating films that inspire conversation, creativity and cultural understanding.
Free admission. Entry is by advance Eventbrite ticket only. Every attendee must have a free Eventbrite ticket to gain entry. Spaces are limited, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
