Deadline for Caribbean films fast approaching

The deadline for filmmakers wishing to submit a film for screening at the 12th edition of the trinidad+tobago film festival (ttff) which will be held from September 19-26 is fast approaching.

According to a release from Festival coordinators, those wishing to submit a film must do so by May 15. A rough cut will be considered.

The Festival accepts 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 produced after January 1, 2015.

All submissions must be made online, via the ttff Visitor Page.

There is no submission fee.

For queries, contact festival representatives directly at submit@ttfilmfestival.com, or visit the FAQ page on their website.

“The trinidad+tobago film festival (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,” the release said. “In addition, the ttff seeks to facilitate the growth of Caribbean cinema by offering a wide-ranging industry programme and networking opportunities. The ttff is presented by Flow, given leading sponsorship by bpTT, and contributing sponsorship by RBC Royal Bank.”
