This year, New Caribbean Cinema is part of the World Cinema Festival in Amsterdam. CinemaTV spoke with initiator and filmmaker Storm Saulter and film scholar Emiel Martens, who received his PhD in the early Jamaican film history in September (the information and images come from his thesis ‘Welcome to Paradise Island’).
