On behalf of the programming committee,
We are excited to bring you authentic and vibrant films.
The program committee worked tirelessly for months and engaged in lively discussions to select our final slate of films for the 2023 edition.
“I experienced an increased appreciation for the myriad of issues depicted in the films and the impact on so many people at such deep levels. I am more committed to raising awareness so as to engender community conversations and healing.”-Ana-Maria Garcia
Our prayer: by hearing our stories and seeing the life experiences of Haitian and Dominican people, perhaps we can gaze beyond the veil and the ghosts that haunt us. In laying hands, salving the wounds, and giving libations to those hauntings, we will bring forth compassion, empathy, and reconnections.
We are excited, animated, and expectant. We hope you are as stimulated by these films as we continue to be.
In awe,
Clarivel
