The film and entertainment industries are on the upswing in Trinidad & Tobago. The T&T Film Festival has grown exponentially in the last few years, and the newly launched T&T Film Night, held under the stars in Belmont.

Building on this success, the Trinidad & Tobago Film Company
is launching the second Television Film Festival (TVFF) on Saturday 13 March, to run for five weekend nights until 27 March.
The TVFF aims to introduce the national (and, via the internet, international) audience to films made by Trinbagonians across the diaspora. The TTFC has partnered with T&T television stations CNC3, TV6, CNMG and Gayelle the Channel for the 2010 TVFF to bring these films to the viewing public, which have provided free prime airtime.

The local filmmakers and producers featured include Christopher Laird, Mariel Brown, Ryan Khan, Patricia Mohammed, Oliver Milne, Ansar Sattar, Sarah Beckett, Frances-Anne Solomon, G. Anthony Joseph.

"This year, the Film Festival promises to be even more exciting with the participating stations showing films that will be made exclusive to them," explains Carla Foderingham, CEO of the TTFF. Viewers will have many exciting films to choose from. The stations have supported the 2010 festival and hopefully this partnership will continue into the future."
