The call for submission is now open for filmmakers wishing to have their films screened at the twelfth edition of the trinidad+tobago film festival, 2017 (ttff/17). The Festival takes place from 19 - 26 September 2017.
The ttff seeks to highlight excellence in filmmaking through the exhibition of fiction and documentary feature and short films made in Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean and its Diaspora.
The Festival therefore accepts submissions from Caribbean filmmakers, Caribbean filmmakers in the Diaspora; and international filmmakers with films from or about the Caribbean or its Diaspora.
Submissions must have been produced after 01 January 2015.
Films screened in competition are eligible for one or more jury prizes. There are also several people's choice awards. The Festival screens films of different lengths in various digital formats.
All submissions must be made online, via the ttff Visitor Page at https://vp.eventival.eu/ttff/2017
THE DEADLINE FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS IS 15 MAY 2017. THIS DEADLINE WILL BE STRICTLY FOLLOWED. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT FILMS THAT DO NOT FULFIL THE STATED CRITERIA.

The ttff seeks to make all screenings at the Festival T&T premieres. Occasionally, however, the Festival considers films that have already been shown publicly in T&T.
Please contact the festival directly if you have a film that falls into this category, or if you have any other queries, at submit@ttfilmfestival.com
