The Trinidad and Tobago Film festival is a robust accumulation of local and international short films and full length movies that appeal to all. Personally, I've been attending these festivals since our school at CAPE level suggested we view the screenings for the French and Spanish movies to help with our accents and fluency. To date, it's still an event I eagerly await and attend. The film festival has a strong presence at the University of the West Indies St. Augustine Campus as many aspiring local screenwriters and actors follow the festival closely in partnership with the Centre for Language Learning (CLL). The local films tackle many cultural issues, current and past issues that sough to shape the country we know today in addition to emerging issues that affect the diaspora.  The other foreign language films give the viewer a new perspective on cultures and issues worldwide.
