Join Us for Our ‘Documenting Carnival’ Panel

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).

when: Wednesday 10 February at 7pm AST
