Caribbean Cinema Review
Coordinator of The UWI St. Augustine Film Programme and “Caribbean Cinema Review’s” Founding Editor, Yao Ramesar, hailed it as “a welcome addition to the Caribbean’s rapidly expanding cinema landscape. Critical analyses, reviews, interviews and scholarship are necessary companions to the plethora of film narratives that we are producing.” The first edition’s countries in focus are Haiti and Trinidad and Tobago, and the Review includes content such as a photo essay from Ayiti Mon Amour (2016) by Guetty Felin, Haiti’s entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 90th Academy Awards, as well as an interview with Roger Alexis, the man behind cult sensation, Santana. The first edition is being released in 2018. The Review will be biennial in odd years and alternate with the UWI Film Programme's World Festival of Emerging Cinema (WOFEC), which is held in even years. The inaugural edition of “Caribbean Cinema Review” will be titled Volume 1 2017/18 to coincide with the inaugural WOFEC, which was held in 2016. The second WOFEC is slated for 2018 and the second edition of “Caribbean Cinema Review” for 2019/20. For further information please contact: film.programme@sta.uwi.edu. |
