It’s that time! The TTFF/25 call for submissions is officially open! 

All submissions must be made via Film Freeway here

Trinidad+Tobago Film Festival (TTFF) seeks to highlight excellence in filmmaking through the exhibition of fiction and documentary films and New Media works made in T&T, the Caribbean and its diaspora. We therefore accept submissions from Caribbean filmmakers, Caribbean filmmakers in the diaspora, and international filmmakers with films from or about the Caribbean or its diaspora.

• Submissions must have been completed after 01 January 2022.
• Films screened in competition are eligible for one or more jury prizes.
• All submissions must be made online, via FilmFreeway.
• Films must be Caribbean or Trinidad and Tobago Premieres (Note: preference will be given to the former). Occasionally, however, the Festival considers films that have already been shown publicly in T+T. Please contact us directly if you have a film that falls into this category, or if you have any other queries, at [email protected].
• Films must not be screened at other Caribbean-focused film festivals during the months of June to September 2025.
• THE FINAL DEADLINE FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS IS 12 MAY 2025. THIS DEADLINE WILL BE STRICTLY FOLLOWED.

The competitive categories are:

• Best fiction film, feature-length
• Best fiction film, mid-length
• Best fiction film, short
• Best documentary film, feature-length
• Best documentary film, mid-length
• Best documentary film, short
• Best film made in T+T
