The announcement from Maxie Cuffie, Minister of Public Administration
and Communication, about the reversion of CNMG to “a revived Trinidad
and Tobago Television”, has stimulated concern about some important
issues, such as local content, public service broadcasting and the
matter of audio-visual archives.
FILMCO, the Filmmakers Collaborative
of Trinidad and Tobago, a new organisation, founded by Dion Boucaud,
Mariel Brown, Danielle Dieffenthaller and Lesley-Anne Macfarlane,
welcomed the announcement and said: “The combined audio visual archives
of TTT, GISL and CNMG must be seen as a financial and historical asset
and treated accordingly, with dedicated librarians to catalogue,
digitise and license the material.”
