Crossroads

Crossroads is a new screening series bringing bold, contemporary Caribbean films to Electric Palace Cinema Hastings. Curated from standout titles at the Trinidad+Tobago Film Festival, each event offers audiences the chance to experience powerful, visually striking stories rarely seen on UK screens. From intimate dramas to urgent, politically resonant work, Crossroads invites you to discover the richness and energy of Caribbean cinema – and to encounter new voices, perspectives, and worlds...come meet the Caribbean through contemporary cinema!

The first edition of Crossroads, draws directly from the 2025 edition of TTFF, presenting a curated selection of standout titles to audiences across South East England. Selected within a Caribbean context and now shared within a UK one, these films extend a curatorial vision grounded in authorship, care, and lived experience. 

The Trinidad+Tobago Film Festival (TTFF) is the world’s leading Caribbean-focused film festival, championing films made by Caribbean filmmakers and from across the diaspora. For two decades, TTFF has created vital platforms for stories emerging from one of the most underrepresented regions in global cinema –  celebrating the richness, complexity, and evolving identities of the Caribbean. 

With support of the BFI Film Audience Network, awarding funds from the National Lottery in order to bring this project to more audiences across the UK.
