We’re back! FILMCO is delighted to present the second carnival edition of our popular online streaming series, #WatchAMovieOnUs! This year’s films take us back in times with the nostalgic Calypso at Dirty Jim’s, we look back at the emergence of the boy who would become the soca powerhouse, Machel Montano in Banyan’s Too Young to Soca; we chart the explosive rise of David Rudder with another Banyan production, Soca in She Samba; celebrate enduring carnival traditions with a series of shorts: ‘This is home: Carnival’ and we get a fly-on-the-wall view of the making of a Carnival band in The Insatiable Season. Finally, we remember Vanna Girod with the screening of Moko Jumbie.

From 23 – 27 February 2022, we will stream seven films for FREE, via https://ttfilmfestival.com. Films will be available to viewers WORLDWIDE for 24 hours each (midnight to midnight). 

#WatchAMovieOnUs carnival edition is brought to you by the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago (NGC).

Carnival is both a time for revelry and a time for work. Photographers, videographers and filmmakers can often be found behind a camera trying to capture the best images, while revellers enjoy themselves. It can be very hard work! But why do they feel the need to document the Carnival? 

As part of trinidad+tobago film festival’s #WatchAMovieOnUs carnival edition, we invite you to join us on Facebook Live for a panel discussion with moderator Ray Funk and panelists Kevin Adams, Maria Govan, Christopher Laird, Mark Lyndersay, Maria Nunes and Camille Parsons, as they discuss the importance, joys and challenges of documenting Carnival, through different lenses (narrative and non-fiction, moving image and still).
