“At Sea” – Neisha Agostini takes T&T Film to Moscow

The Trinidad and Tobago Film Company (TTFC) congratulates Ms Neisha Agostini of Parallax Productions on the acceptance of her documentary film, “At Sea” to the V Moscow International Festival and Scholarly Conference of Visual Anthropology. The Festival will take place from 20th to 24th of September, 2010 in Moscow at the Lomonosov Moscow State University. This Festival considers documentary films specific to their definition of “Visual Anthorpology”: (from the Center of Visual Anthropology at the Lomonosov Moscow State University )

“Visual anthropology is deliberately interactive since creating anthropological films is rather research-through-communication than director’s self-realisation. This implies entering into another cultural world organised by certain rules, or the opposite movement-going out to the outer world from the circle of ethnically limited consciousness. Everything depends on the one who takes the camera. The communicative nature of visual anthropology continues on the next step during the demonstration of film, its discussion among the viewers, and at master classes for students and broader audience.”

Neisha Agostini is one of the TTFC’s awardees under the Production Assistance and Script Development (PASD) programme. The TTFC intends to offer further financial sponsorship to Ms. Agostini for her trip to Moscow as she journeys to Russia to represent Trinidad and Tobago as the only Caribbean film accepted at the Festival.
