Barbados will once again host the CaribbeanTales Film Festival (CTFF), Symposium and Marketplace from March 7 – 20 2011. The festival follows a highly successful event held last year that was a major boost for the local and regional film industry.

CEO of CaribbeanTales Worldwide Distribution and award-winning film maker, Frances-Anne Solomon disclosed that the Official Media Launch for the festival will take place at the Island Inn Hotel at 10.00 am on January 17.

Jamaica is looking to outshine its last hosting of Caribbean Marketplace in 2005, and has assembled a top quality entertainment lineup for the opening and closing nights of this year’s event, to be held at the newly constructed Montego Bay Convention Centre from January 16-18, 2011.

With the Christmas season comes much merriment, and often reckless driving. Spirits are high, as well as, tempers and the roads tend to be more dangerous due to a diminished sense of judgment, a strange phenomena, associated with this season.

Partying during the holidays is almost as certain as sorrel and Christmas pudding, as a result, drinking and driving is a major concern. "Our Designate a Driver campaign brings responsible driving directly to parties during the season" says Deidrie Hudson-Sinclair, Accident Analyst Statistician, Road Safety Unit with the Ministry of Transport and Works "We are working closely with the Taxi Association of Jamaica this holiday to assist, as best as possible, with the safety of the public".
