🎬 Help &ldquo;The Seawall&rdquo; Go to Italy 🇮🇹 In 2010, The Seawall, a short film by Mason Richards, was brought to life in Georgetown, Guyana through the support of generous donors and the fiscal sponsorship of Friends of Guyana. Filmed entirely on location with local Guyanese non-actors and crew trained in film production, the project became a powerful celebration of Guyanese culture, family, and identity. After premiering at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in France, The Seawall is now headed to the internationally renowned Venice Biennale in Italy as part of the Resonance exhibition curated by Vanderbilt University&rsquo;s Engine for Art, Democracy and Justice.
