PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago — The Trinidad+Tobago Film Festival (TTFF) has successfully launched its UK screening series, Crossroads: Where Caribbean Cinema Meets the UK, with the sold-out UK premiere of Queen of Soca presented in partnership with BEAM in Hertford recently.

The screening formed part of TTFF’s wider 20th anniversary celebrations, marking two decades of championing Caribbean cinema, filmmakers and regional storytelling since the festival’s founding in 2005.

Mariel Brown, TTFF director, said the event reflected the wider ambition of the festival’s anniversary year.
