Love, preg­nan­cy, HIV, drug abuse and vi­o­lence are some of the is­sues that will form an ex­cit­ing evening of lo­cal movies, when the next in­stall­ment of T&T Film Nights rolls in to San­gre Grande. Host­ed by the trinidad+to­ba­go film fes­ti­val (ttff) and spon­sored by the Trinidad & To­ba­go Film Com­pa­ny, the screen­ing takes place at the re­cent­ly opened San­gre Grande North-East­ern Set­tle­ment Com­mu­ni­ty Cen­tre, May 6, from 5 pm. Ad­mis­sion is free. The evening is pre­sent­ed in as­so­ci­a­tion with Cit­i­zen Se­cu­ri­ty Pro­gramme (CSP), an ini­tia­tive of the Min­istry of Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty, whose ob­jec­tive is to con­tribute to a re­duc­tion in crime and vi­o­lence in a num­ber of "high-needs" com­mu­ni­ties in Trinidad and To­ba­go.

The films be­ing screened are Pos­i­tive & Preg­nant, di­rect­ed by Sta­cy Lela; SHHushed, di­rect­ed by Man­disa Pan­tin; Pashan of the Froot, di­rect­ed by Nadis­sa Haynes; and Dirty Clothes, di­rect­ed by Dawn Pritheesingh. All four films, a mix­ture of dra­ma, com­e­dy and an­i­ma­tion, were se­lec­tions of the ttff/11. Be­fore the screen­ings there will be a short talk giv­en by a rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the Com­mu­ni­ty Po­lice. The ttff is held an­nu­al­ly in Sep­tem­ber.
