Isolated in the mountains of Trinidad, the district of Paramin once a year at Carnival time sheds its rural languor and erupts into an inferno of blue-painted ‘jabs’ or devils. This 46-minute documentary, filmed in the two weeks leading up to Carnival, follows Kootoo, King Devil, as he prepares with his three brothers to once again win the village competition for the most convincing devil band. Known for his athletic prowess, and given to extraordinary feats like ripping up trees and scaling tall buildings, the charismatic Kootoo must still work hard with his band of devils to win the prize in the face of serious competition from a new generation of ‘jabs’. Will the brothers’ scheme to add a new twist to the masquerade be enough for them to win?
Told by the villagers themselves, in their own dialect, this entertaining story highlights the joyous heart of Paramin. With its CD-worthy background music of folk-songs and calypsos, JAB sheds light on a Caribbean culture that few visitors ever get to see.
Official selection: Inaugural Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival, Traveling Caribbean Film Showcase (Cuba), Cambridge Film Festival (U.K.), Africa World Festival of Documentary Films (U.S.A.)
“..A spectacular success. Some shots will take your breath away” (B.C. Pires, The Daily Express, Port of Spain)
“Alex de Verteuil’s direction is serenely unobstrusive, letting the fascinating micro-culture unfold before our eyes. I was captivated…” (Tim Harding, Cambridge Film Festival )

A Bomb threat at CANFAR? November 29, 2007
What is the world coming to????
Hi Everyone,
I was volunteering at CANFAR.ca (AIDS Foundation) earlier tonight for their big annual gala fund raiser, and the after party at the ROM was canceled due to a bomb in the building. My first concern was for my staff and guest at my location. everyone is OK but then I got thinking about what would have happened if we went to the ROM and the bomb was detonated? thousands of people hurt or killed because someone wants to make a point… :S I cant understand why killing others would make a point? all it does is kill people, and take away from whatever your point was.
No one like a bully and even less people like cowards, and people who plant bombs are the lowest form of both.
I am happy to be alive tonight and grateful that other people who I don’t know are doing things which allowed all of us to be safe. THANK YOU for doing what you did, it made a difference in the world, even if it was just my world!!!
We heard the news and we were all grateful that no one was hurt and continued to celebrate and raise money, make donations, have a fantastic time, and do what we came there to do. Thank you to everyone that volunteered, donated their time, skill, effort and energy to making the Liss Gallery CAFAR event the most amazing one evening EVER!!!
My two cents ~Ricardo
