CVIFF's executive producer is Suely Neves. A graduate of University of Massachusetts Amherst, [4] she wrote her graduate thesis for SIT Graduate Institute on Cape Verde's deportation policies. [5] [6] She has been a project officer at the International Organization for Migration and 3x3 basketball coordinator. [4] [7]
History
The film festival first premiered in October 2010 in Espargos, Sal. While originally conceived in 2008, the idea of a film festival had to be postponed due to the financial crisis. [2] The first event had a total of five films screened which Neves has said was a positive start for the newly organized event. At the time, CVIFF was unable to secure sponsorships from businesses or cultural organizations, which would remain a problem for at least the next three years. [2]
In 2014, it was reported that Hollywood filmmaker Mike Costa would be participating in that year's CVIFF as a panelist and jury member. [8] The year prior the festival partnered with the African-American Film Critics Association to increase American presence there. [9] [10]
