About Us

This year the Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival (TTFF) has expanded its scope to include many more invited filmmakers with an emphasis on the Caribbean Diaspora and our Latin American neighbour, Venezuela. The TTFF 08 will host numerous workshops to help refine filmmakers’ technical and production skills as well as host parties and filmmaker panels. Highlights from the festival will travel to UWI, San Fernando and Tobago. Our programming partners include Animae Caribe, Studio Film Club and MovieTowne School Films Competition.

TTFF would like to welcome back its headline sponsor the Trinidad and Tobago Film Company and welcomes FLOW as our newest presenting sponsor.
