First released in 1979, "BACCHANAL TIME" was a hugely popular movie, breaking all cinema attendance records in Trinidad up to that time.
It made its way through much of the Caribbean finally opening in New York at The Cine II at Broadway and 47th Street where it ran for two weeks. In Brooklyn it played four weeks at The Granada and three weeks at The Rugby. "BACCHANAL TIME" also had successful engagements in several other North American cities.
For over a year in the mid 1980's "BACCHANAL TIME" toured the schools of Trinidad and Tobago at the request of The Ministry of Education and Culture which cited the film for its positive entertainment, educational and cultural values.
Because of constant enquiries about this movie and numerous requests for an opportunity to view it again, Pempaleh International Productions has decided to re-release "BACCHANAL TIME" as a follow up to the terrific results achieved by "THE PANMAN".
