Mas Man: The Complete Work, produced and directed by Dalton Narine, will hold a public screening at 6 pm today at Nalis. The film explores Peter Minshall’s leap from designer in the Trinidad Carnival to an artistic director of the opening ceremonies for three Olympic Games. “I don’t think anyone could do Peter Minshall justice without televising him live for a few decades,” says columnist and film reviewer BC Pires, “but Mas Man: The Complete Work comes close to doing it in 89 minutes. I loved it. What has emerged is a genuine picture of the artist in his context, extremely well put over in a very short time.”
The film has won nine awards at festivals in Trinidad & Tobago, New York City, Las Vegas, Ohio (two), Los Angeles, Switzerland, Indonesia and South Africa. It has been screened in many countries: USA, Canada, Argentina, England, Wales, Ireland, Holland, Poland, Greece, India, China, Thailand, Africa, Australia. Subsequent screenings through October are scheduled for festivals in New York, Hollywood, Athens, Warsaw and Mumbai. A three-DVD home video of the production will be available at www.masmanthemovie.com and at local video stores from October 1.
