FEATURED FILM: CALYPSO DREAMS
Calypso Dreams is far and away the best film ever made about calypso….
- Michael Goodwin, Caribbean Beat.
With narrative commentary by the popular Caribbean musician David Rudder, the film captures riveting, contemporary performances by a host of legendary Calypso performers with colorful “sobriquets,” including the Mighty Sparrow, Calypso Rose, Lord Superior, Black Stalin, Mighty Bomber, Lord Blakie, Singing Sandra and Mighty Terror, and pays homage to recently deceased Calypsonians, including Lord Kitchener and Lord Pretender.
The film also includes a rare and exclusive interview with Harry Belafonte on the issue of his early involvement with Calypso and his complex relationship with Lord Melody in the '50s and '60s. Using a rich array of archival footage and photographs, Calypso Dreams is a celebration not only of the music of Calypso, but of the intense sense of community it engenders in Trinidad and Tobago, and of the art form’s dynamic social and political roots, which sustain it.

When everything she knew was gone,
Rain searched for the only family she had left....
RAIN : Director Maria Govan’s powerful debut, one of the first films indigenously produced in the Bahamas, shows a darker side of the country that tourists rarely see. Determined to reconcile with the mother who abandoned her when she was just a toddler, a Bahamian adolescent boards a local mail boat and sets sail for Nassau to find her own place in the world.
