TT Film Fest Day 2

The Cutlass was such a surprise to me. The shots were gorgeous. There were homes and location shots that took my breath away. The drone footage alone are a major draw.

But the surprise was the acting. It was good!  So yes, put this film on your list.

The Ninth Floor is a documentary abour a protest at the Sir. George Williams University in Canada. A group of Caribbean students accused a lecturer of racism and took the administration to take when they failed to act.

I thought that it was beautifully shot but some scenes seemed a bit overdone. But I highly recommend this film because of the insight it gives into our history and social evolution.

The film festival runs from the 20-27 September. Check out my thoughts on Day 1’s screenings here.
