Special Features: Opening Night
Winner of the People’s Choice Award at the 2023 Trinidad & Tobago Film Festival, PANAZZ: THE STORY chronicles the formation, impact and legacy of Panazz — one of the most influential and genre-defying steel-pan ensembles to emerge from Trinidad and Tobago. Through intimate interviews, archival performances and breathtaking visuals of the Trinidad and Tobago landscape, this film invites audiences into a powerful celebration of innovation, resilience and cultural pride. Blending original compositions and steel-pan arrangements from Panazz’s five re-released albums with emotionally resonant storytelling, the documentary explores how a small Caribbean band defied social expectations and changed the global perception of what steel-pan music and performance could be.
