The trinidad+tobago film festival's artist initiative began in 2008 as a way of bridging the worlds of contemporary art and film. Every year, the festival commissions an artist to create an image that in some way reflects the art of film or the cinema-going experience, especially as it relates to the Caribbean. This image is used throughout the festival, and becomes the basis of the festival's visual materials for that year.

Now Showing, by Christopher Cozier, is the official image of the trinidad+tobago film festival/10. As in previous years, a limited-edition print was supported by the Ministry of Arts and Multiculturalism and the National Museum and Art Gallery. The print was unveiled in July, and is currently on sale.
