The trinidad+tobago film festival invites you to the CARNIVAL FILM SERIES 2015 starting from January 17th  to 25th 2015.

The Carnival Film Series 2015 will conclude at NALIS Amphitheatre on Sunday January 25 from 6.30pm, with Ray Funk Presents: Calypso Craze. Once again, Alaskan based, Carnival Historian Ray Funk will thrill audiences with rare vintage Carnival film clips – this time focusing on the Calypso Craze – a comprehensive survey of the Calypso Craze that swept America in 1957 when the whole American entertainment industry thought calypso would kill rock and roll.

This presentation at the NALIS Amphitheatre will also coincide with the official launch of the book, CD and DVD set of the same name. Both events on this weekend will be preceded by Living Legacies: Trains in Trinidad; and Clay and Dirt Ovens in T&T, produced with the support of the Ministry of National Diversity and Social Integration.

The trinidad+tobago film festival is presented by Flow, and given supporting sponsorship by the Embassy of the United States of America. For more information, please visit http://www.ttfilmfestival.com
