At the festival’s twenty fifth edition, organisers connect animation training with Caribbean intellectual property and the ability to reach international audiences.
Animae Caribe’s twenty fifth edition is putting the business of Caribbean storytelling alongside the celebration of animation. TTT’s October 28 report quotes founder Camille Selvon Abrahams on the festival’s role in education, professional links and regional creative development.
She linked the festival’s work to animation and games education at the University of Trinidad and Tobago. Global Trinidad and Tobago chief executive Sekou Alleyne also emphasized developing and commercialising intellectual property while preserving Caribbean identity.
Rose Foundation chair Marcia Belgrove discussed opportunities from artificial intelligence and the need for creators to protect their livelihoods and work. Those remarks describe priorities and ambitions, rather than independently measured income or employment gains.
The practical question for the sector is how training and ownership translate into productions that reach audiences. The archive campus image provides education context. It does not identify the location of this week’s festival or depict a festival session.
