Films showing tonight:

• Iconography: Roy Cape

Trinidad & Tobago ⎥2022⎥39min34sec

‘Iconography’ is a fun and educational, deep-dive docu-series. We reveal the untold stories of musical giants and cultural icons in Trinidad and Tobago, through the voices of the legends themselves, many of whom have limited recorded interview material available for public viewing, as a result of rising to prominence before the popularity of recorded video documentaries and the internet.

Our first featured icon is saxophonist and band leader Dr. Roy Cape, the founder of ‘Roy Cape All Stars’ and the ‘Roy Cape Foundation’. He is an accomplished arranger, composer and writer, with an illustrious musical and philanthropic career spanning nearly six decades.
