 NASSAU, Bahamas -- Bahamas FilmInvest International, Coordinator of the Travelling Caribbean Film Showcase, released the titles of films selected to be featured in the 5th edition of the Film Showcase, scheduled for the month of June 2013 at Galleria Cinemas.
Owen Bethel, President of Bahamas FilmInvest International, confirmed that in addition to the 22 full feature films, documentaries, animations and children’s films included in the regular Showcase, due to the 40th Anniversary of Independence of The Bahamas, a further 7 films have been specifically selected in recognition of this historic occasion.
“The Film Showcase is intended to expose the local population to the skill and talent of filmmakers within the region. These are stories with which we can relate and are executed with the artistry and technique more often associated only with Hollywood. However, the 7 films to be shown as a special tribute to the 40th Anniversary of Independence of The Bahamas were chosen due to their themes of liberation, freedom, racial currents, and independence movements in the region,” Mr. Bethel stated. The Film Showcase, endorsed by both UNESCO and UNICEF, is an annual event featured in over twenty islands of the Caribbean and exposing the talents of the filmmakers in over thirty markets.
Mr. Bethel foreshadowed the launch of a showcase specific to the Bahamian filmmakers during the 40th Anniversary celebrations and the creation of a Short Film Competition with the theme of "Independence". Selected short films and winners of the competition will join other films in being featured in the Film Showcase in specific markets throughout the region. He also indicated that the success of the Travelling Caribbean Film Showcase will lead to the establishment and launch of the Caribbean Film Awards in 2014.

 NASSAU, Bahamas -- The organizers of Islands of the World Fashion Showcase hosted some thirty specially invited ladies to an exclusive private viewing of creations by leading Bahamian fashion and accessories designers on Saturday, 4th May, at the home of founder, Owen Bethel.
Radio personality, Gandhi Pinder, served as commentator for the evening as she introduced the collections from selected fashion designers Brynda Knowles (Brynda), and David Rolle (House of Raphelita), and accessories designers Harl Taylor BAG, Chelsea Johnson (Autumn Crop), and Perky Lightbourne (Balinda’s Creations) from Andros.
Invited guests included a group of ladies from Texas visiting Nassau to celebrate the birthday of event planner, Lesia Ramsay, and attendees of the One Love Cruise and Gospel Concert at Atlantis.
Mr. Bethel stated that “the new format for the May event proved to be successful as it provided a trade sales opportunity for the designers, and allowed the guests to gain a more detailed scrutiny of the creations before committing to a purchase.
As the majority of guests were international they tended to focus more on those products which were easily transportable.” However, Mr. Bethel went on to commend all of the participating designers:
Brynda Knowles is a veteran in the industry and is now on an exciting revival of her line.
