Submissions must have been completed after 01 January 2019. For full submission guidelines and categories, please visit our portal on Film Freeway.
ttff/21 will include new shorts, and features, narrative films, documentaries and experimental films, which explore the Caribbean experience. Filmmakers – whether student, emerging or established – with films that fit our criteria are welcome to apply! Our 2021 festival will be a hybrid, with a combination of online and in-person events and screenings – as required by Trinidad & Tobago Government regulations.
Our training and professional development programmes will continue to be a core offering of ttff in 2021, and will include, Masterclasses (intensive 3-day workshops led by international industry professionals), filmmaker panels, introductory industry workshops and presentations, and youth-focused mentorship and training.
