The European Film Festival, the first of its kind in Trinidad and Tobago, is back.
Launched globally in 1985, the festival continues to grow locally.
EU Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago, Cécile Tassin, says she is pleased to see the event returning with momentum this May.
Ms. Tassin says the film festival is richly diverse in its offerings and extends beyond a celebration of European cinema.
She notes that it provides a platform where European stories intersect with global perspectives, encouraging greater understanding between countries.
A deliberate effort is also being made to ensure the inclusion of youth voices.
The Ambassador says that while the films presented are rooted in the cultures and borders of the participating countries, they speak to universal themes that resonate deeply with both Trinidad and Tobago’s cultural experience and that of Europe.
