Not an easy task! This is a list of ten films that have had the greatest impact on my life in general and as a filmmaker, growing up in Trinidad with the influence of Hollywood films of the period, as well as French cinema. Then there's the influence of the films I saw as a young man travelling through Europe in the 1960s and 70s, both surrealist and social-realist films – which contain themes and aesthetics that I attempted to include and explore in my own work.
