ABOUT NEW MEDIA

Video art/experimental film has been at the forefront of contemporary art practices for the last four decades and has developed in parallel with advancements in technology and globalisation.

The ttff is held annually in September and is presented by Flow, given leading sponsorship by RBC Royal Bank and bpTT, and supported by the Trinidad & Tobago Film Company, the National Gas Company, the Tourism Development Company, the Tobago House of Assembly and the Ministry of Arts and Multiculturalism.
