"A Better Place" showing at the IMAX and UWI, Nov 23 & 26.

 A BETTER PLACE

"A Better Place" a documentary directed by Miquel Galofre was the lead film in the recently concluded Green Screen Environmental Film Series. Unfortunately, I did not get to see it during the film series but we all are in luck because Sustain T&T and T&T Rocks (producers of A Better Place) has organized two upcoming screenings of the film.

The first screening is at the IMAX, Port of Spain on Monday 23 November @ 6:45pm, the cost is $50 TT. (tickets are available at the IMAX box office).

The second screening at the Amphitheatre A, UWI Faculty of Medical Sciences, Eric Williams Medical Science Complex (that is in the Mount Hope Hospital see this map for directions) on Thursday 26 November @ 7pm. This screening is FREE but it is advised that you send an email to greenscreen.rsvp@gmail.com to reserve your place.

There was suppose to be another screening on Wednesday 25 November but it was CANCELLED as a result of circumstances beyond the control of Sustain T&T. Please see the poster below for details.

The film is about an hour long and tells the stories of five different environmental projects within Trinidad and Tobago. It also features the local musical talents of Black Loyalty, Gillian Moor with Shiva Mannick, Solman, Ruth Osman with Anders Kappel Øvre (the only non-national) and Freetown Collective.

Writer BC Pires did a great review of the film for the Trinidad Guardian on November 5, called "Music meets environment in Galofre's film "A Better Place", do check it out.

I am a huge fan of Miquel Galofre's films such as  Art Connect, Why Do Jamaicans Run So Fast (about Usain Bolt),  Songs of Redemption  , Hit Me With Music (documentary about Dancehall music) among others. I would love some day soon to get involved in one of his productions. Check out Miquel's website at miquelgalofre and subscribe to his YouTube page.

Since last time I blogged about the Green Screen Film Series, I actually met Carver Bacchus (head of Sustain T&T) and the rest of team of GREEN SCREEN 2015. They loved the blog and I appreciate that love, I will continue to support them for all their productions and events.

Please view the trailer for A Better Place . Also a behind the scenes video on "How we made a Better Place" and see Carver, Gillian and Miquel express their love for making the film. Come see the film and find your passion for our environment.
