ABOUT BIM

Bim (1974) is a film directed by Hugh Robertson who was acclaimed most of all for his work on Midnight Cowboy, that earned him the BAFTA Award for Best Editing and a nomination for the Academy Award for Film Editing. This made him the first African American person to be nominated for an Oscar in the editing category. He came to Trinidad with his wife Suzanne Robertson to form Sharc Studios from which Bim was born and written by my father Raoul Pantin.

This film continues to be a Caribbean cult classic as the themes apply to then and now.
