Project Leader Dr Asad Mohammed. Directors Patricia Mohammed and Michael Mooleedhar. The film is programmed for screening at the Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival in September 2015.

2015. A Caribbean Studies Virtual Museum. Funded through the Government of Trinidad and Tobago Research Grant, this Virtual Museum intends to engage the subject matter of cultural phenomena from a contemporary perspective, while establishing trails and traces to the past. It attempts also to invert the still popular idea of musea as forgotten or outdated relics to be preserved in hard textured form and formats, and tap onto a population of users, local, regional and international who increasingly draw on web based resources to travel vicariously to other countries and cultures. Researcher involved: Prof. Patricia Mohammed.

2012. Bridging Cultures through Film – Documentary Film Project in Development as of April 2012. Diana Fox, Professor of Anthropology at Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts, and Associate Staff of the IGDS, is working with a media team on a US National Endowment for the Humanities grant called ‘Bridging Cultures through Film’.  A component of this collaboration involves work with the Fondes Amandes Reforestation Community Project and the IGDS SAU.
