The department conducts training in Visual Communications, Music Technology and Animation.
The public will be entertained by stories like Cyborg Chicken about a young chicken with a passion to prove himself and Teddy’s Story about a day in the life of a teddy owned by two young brothers. Also, Dream Versus Reality, a 3D masterpiece that tells the story of a young girl and the adventures in her head. The screening will be open to the public on September 30, from 4 pm to 7 pm, at the NAPA Building UTT Academy for the Performing Arts, Foyer and Screening Room, Keate Street, Port-of-Spain.

The days events will include screenings, meet and greet the student film-makers, and special music presentation by the UTT Music and Sound Technology Certificate students.
