The trinidad+tobago film festival not only provides viewers with a showcase of great Caribbean film, we also bring the filmmakers who made those films to our audiences. This year, the ttff has expanded our offering and will also be hosting a number of actresses and actors during the festival. Here on our website or in your festival guide, when you see a Q&A next to the screening of a film, that means the filmmaker and/or actor will be present to answer questions after the film.
Additionally, the two Fridays of the festival, 21 and 28 Sept, at 9.30am at The Carlton Savannah Hotel, you can come listen, free of charge, to participating guest and local filmmakers talk about the experience of making their films at the ttff filmmakers’ panels.
