Af­ter two long years of vir­tu­al pre­sen­ta­tions and on­line op­er­a­tions, the Trinidad and To­ba­go Film Fes­ti­val (TTFF) has fi­nal­ly made its way back to in-per­son ac­tiv­i­ties.  

With a new­found part­ner­ship with the Na­tion­al Li­brary and In­for­ma­tion Sys­tem Au­thor­i­ty (NALIS), the TTFF kick­start­ed the fes­ti­val’s open­ing with a press con­fer­ence out­lin­ing the di­verse ros­ter of events and ac­tiv­i­ties in the up­com­ing weeks.  

Over the span of a week, the film fes­ti­val will run from the 22 to the 28 of Sep­tem­ber with over 24 events. It will high­light an ex­cit­ing line­up of films fea­tur­ing dif­fer­ent cat­e­gories in­clud­ing Caribbean, short medi­um length, stu­dent, panora­ma, new me­dia as well as ret­ro­spec­tive films.  

The Open­ing Night Gala of the film fes­ti­val, which will take place on Wednes­day 21 Sep­tem­ber at IMAX (One Wood­brook Place) promis­es a night of en­ter­tain­ment for those in­ter­est­ed.   

The event en­tails a cock­tail re­cep­tion, fol­lowed by the open­ing night film, “Chee$e,” an award-win­ning film and an orig­i­nal pro­duc­tion of T&T Di­rec­tor, Dami­an Mar­cano.  

In com­mem­o­ra­tion of T&T’s Re­pub­lic Day, the TTFF al­so opt­ed to cel­e­brate the event with one full day of on­line screen­ings of T&T’s films.  

The fes­ti­val's main screen­ing venue will be Movi­eTowne, Port-of-Spain with oth­er view­ings at the NALIS AV room and am­phithe­atre.   

Run by the non-prof­it, Film­mak­ers Col­lab­o­ra­tive, (FILM­CO), the TTFF cel­e­brates films from and about the Caribbean and its di­as­po­ra, as well as from world cin­e­ma, through an an­nu­al fes­ti­val and year-round screen­ings of sub­mis­sions.  

All ad­di­tion­al in­for­ma­tion on the event, as well as tick­ets, are avail­able through the TTFF’s web­site, ttfilm­fes­ti­val.com.
