Get High on Film with ttff/17
With the countdown on to the 2017
trinidad+tobago film festival (ttff),
the Festival team has issued an open
invitation to film lovers to join them at
their two pre-festival limes. The first,
this Friday (08 September), is at Drink!
Lounge and Bistro, in Woodbrook. The
following Friday (15 September), the
lime moves to south at at 519 Trinidad in
the C3 Centre in San Fernando.
The limes provide an opportunity to
meet filmmakers and others involved
in the industry, find out about film
screenings, to generally be part of the
buzz and excitement that surrounds the
Festival - and, according to the Festival,
“get high on film.”
According to Azreena Khan, events
and marketing coordinator at the ttff,
“this year we are particularly pleased
to be heading to San Fernando for our
first ever pre-festival lime in the South
and we hope some of our regular party
crew from the West will join us there. Of
course we are also inviting our friends in
the South to come out and show the Port
of Spain crew how to party. It’s going to
be fun and we’re excited.”
Drinks and food are on sale. Admission
is free
