Ciné Institute
Ciné Institute is Haiti’s only film school.
Based on the southern coast in the town of
Jacmel, Ciné Institute provides Haitian youth
with film education, training, and production
support while actively promoting Haiti’s
national cinema abroad. Ciné Institute began
as Festival Film Jakmèl, an annual celebration
that screened hundreds of films from around
the world free of charge to local audiences.
The Maysles Institute
As the only movie theater in northern
Manhattan dedicated to documentary and
independent film, the Maysles Institute
serves as a site of community-based, lowcost popular education and entertainment.
Located in Harlem at 343 Malcolm X Blvd,
Maysles builds an audience for exemplary
documentary films through screenings
at the cinema house and through
collaborations with outside partners.
World Nomads Haiti
PEN World Voices
Festival of International Literature
A week-long celebration of world literature
featuring 160 writers from 41 countries
speaking 18 different languages. This year’s
festival explores the theme of “Evolution/
Revolution” in New York City from
April 27–May 3.
S.O.B.’S
Founded by Larry Gold, who had a distinct
musical vision and passion, S.O.B.’S commits
itself to exposing the musical wealth
and heritage of the Afro-Latino diaspora
to the New York community. Through
its presentation of legendary artists such as
The Gypsy Kings, Buena Vista Social Club,
and the late Tito Puente, S.O.B.’S has gained
recognition as a passionate and cutting-edge
music venue.
World Nomads, FIAF’s annual exploration of transculturalism
in the 21st century, returns in May with a focus on Haiti—
a country brimming with a rich and vibrant cultural life that
is both fiercely original and stunningly universal.
FIAF has partnered with downtown music pioneer S.O.B.’S,
the PEN World Voices Festival of International Literature,
Haiti’s Ciné Institute, and New York’s revolutionary film center
the Maysles Institute for the second edition of the series, in
order to bring some of the most exciting examples of Haitian
culture to New York. World Nomads Haiti has also benefited
greatly from the guidance of its parrain, Jonathan Demme, who
has given generously of his time and expertise, not to mention
his own personal collection of Haitian art.
Spanning all of FIAF, from Le Skyroom to Florence Gould Hall,
and stretching between the Maysles Institute in Harlem
to S.O.B.’S and The Bubble Lounge downtown, World Nomads
Haiti celebrates the inspiring cultural landscape of Haiti—
a closely knit community that remains full of hope
and promise for the years to come.
World Nomads is generously supported by American Airlines, the official airline of FIAF;
Afrique & Caraïbes en créations–CulturesFrance; and Organisation internationale
de la francophonie.

Music
RAM
Friday, May 1 at 8pm
Co-presented with S.O.B.’S
To launch the second annual World Nomads
Haiti series, FIAF and S.O.B.’S present the
pioneering mizik rasin band, RAM, whose
“voodoo rock n’ roots” sound has become
the musical voice of a generation of Haitians.
Founded by lead vocalist Richard A. Morse,
RAM came into prominence during the military
junta of Raoul Cédras. The band has survived
kidnapping and assassination attempts,
bringing a message of freedom and hope
to Port-au-Prince through their weekly
performances at the Hotel Oloffson and
subsequent recordings. Many perceive RAM
as the voice of Haiti, and it is with pride and
in the spirit of unity that FIAF and S.O.B.’S
bring the group to New York for this special
one-night-only concert.
After-Party and Performance @ S.O.B.’S
Featuring RAM and CaRiMi
Shows at Midnight and 2am*
After RAM’s electrifying show at Florence

group CaRiMi.

John & Francine Haskell Library
Exhibition Opens on Saturday, May 2
In conjunction with World Nomads Haiti, FIAF’s
John & Francine Haskell Library invites you to
discover the rich texture of Haitian literature.
No literary series on Haiti would be complete
without a celebration of Haiti’s vivid oral
culture. Participants will engage in a session
of krik-krak—a Haitian storytellers’ ritual of
warming up their audiences by asking “Krik?”
and taking the collective response “Krak!”
as their cue to begin to tell stories and jokes.
Join Haitian storytellers for this very special
happening, where stories yet to be defined
will take shape.
A poster exhibit will feature ten of today’s
most prominent voices of Haitian literature:
Marie-Célie Agnant, Dominique Batraville,
René Depestre, Frankétienne, Dany Laferrière,
Yanick Lahens, Kettly Mars, Jean Métellus,
Evelyne Trouillot, and Gary Victor.
A special display in the main reading room
of the Library will highlight books by Haitian
writers from the Library’s collections,
including short stories, poetry, novels,
and works for children.

feel refreshingly unique.

As part of the World Nomads Haiti cinema
series, the venerated Maysles Institute

Maysles Cinema
The Revelations of Madame Nerval
Les Illuminations de Madame Nerval
Sunday, May 3 at 7pm
Charles Najman, 1999. 55 min.
In French with English subtitles.
“The invisible is a mystery,” the astonishing
Haitian Vodou priestess tells us at the start
of the film. What follows are the implications,
expressed with more than a hint of humor,
which reveals the essential, fantastic, and
concrete link with Africa in this pragmatic
and familiar religion.
Of Men and Gods
Des Hommes et Des Dieux
Sunday, May 3 at 8pm
Anne Lescot and Lawrence Magloire, 2002. 52 min.
In Creole with English subtitles.
Of Men And Gods examines the daily existence
of several Haitian men who are openly gay.
Prevalent, yet still taboo, homosexuality
and gay culture are allowed to flourish
within the context of Haiti’s Vodou religion.
As “children of the gods,” the men find an
explanation for homosexuality as well as
divine protection–while the AIDS epidemic
looms as a continual threat.
22
Dreams of Democracy
Thursday, May 14 at 8pm
Jonathan Demme, 1988. 52 min.
In English.
Made shortly after the 1987 overthrow
of the Duvalier regime, this film is a platform
for Haitian people to express dreams
and concerns for the country’s future
and comment on its tumultuous present
through popular culture. Director Jonathan
Demme creates an impressionistic report
that authentically encapsulates the opinions,
aspirations, and fashions of the time.
Carnival Jacmel
Thursday, May 14 at 9pm
Students of Ciné Institute
with Jonathan Stack, 2009. In progress.
This short film made by students at Haiti’s
new Ciné Institute documents the Carnaval
celebration that takes place every year in
Jacmel. This film is the result of an initiative
to build and sustain a local film industry in a
town famous for its artists and film festival.
Ra-Ra, A Haitian Festival
Gail Pellet, 1978. 18 min.
This short film provides background on
one of Haiti’s unique musical forms: Ra-Ra.
The screening will be followed by a slideshow
and talk with the film’s producer and
ethnomusicologist, Verna Gillis, documenting
and discussing her travels in Haiti.
The Other Side of Water
Black Dawn
The Other Side of Water
Friday, May 15 at 8:30pm
Jeremy Robins & Magali Damas, 2008. 61 min.
In English.
This feature documentary follows a group
of young immigrants who take an ancient
music from the hills of Haiti (“Ra-Ra”)
and reinvent it on the streets of Brooklyn.
The journey of this unlikely band offers
a unique insight into the Haitian-American
experience—a rare glimpse into a world
of music, spirituality, and cultural activism.
Black Dawn
Robin Lloyd, 1981. 16 min.
This stop-frame animation presents the
history of the Haitian revolution through
the vision of Haitian artists. Recommended
for all ages, Black Dawn presents a story
of enslavement, uprising, and independence
in a visually stunning manner—a true
celebration of Haitian arts, folkways,
and history.
Screening to be followed by a performance
and procession by the subject of the film,
the band DJA RARA!
Haitian Eksperyans
Saturday, May 16 at 3:30pm
David Belle, 1996. 25 min.
This film offers a view of Haiti that
is seldom the focus of documentaries about
the country. Haitian Eksperyans celebrates
the country’s natural beauty, rich cultural
traditions, and the warmth of its people—
reasons so many foreigners develop a love
for the country, and a source of pride for all
in the Haitian diaspora.
23
Maysles Cinema
Dreamers
Thursday, May 21 at 7:30pm
Jørgen Leth, 2002. 55 min.
In English, Creole, and French.
Danish director Jørgen Leth captures with
great integrity the spirituality and otherworldliness of elderly Haitian painters. Among
the artists represented are André Pierre,
Philome Obin, Prospere Pierre Louis, Louisiane
Saint-Fleurant, and Salnave Philippe-Auguste.
As these masters share their wisdom and
practice the category of the “naïf” artist is
itself rendered irrelevant and simple-minded.
Thursday, May 21 at 7:30pm
Leah Gordon, 2008. 35 min.
Grand Rue is the main avenue that runs
north–south through downtown Port-au-Prince.
At the avenue’s southern end is a close-knit
community with a historical tradition of arts,
crafts, music, and religious practice,
whose members draw on the refuse of the
nearby car repair district to create powerful
sculptural collages.

The FIAF Gallery presents a special exhibition
of Haitian paintings from the personal
collection of the parrain of this year’s festival:
Academy Award-winning American film
director Jonathan Demme. Known for his
films Silence of the Lambs and the recent
Rachel Getting Married, Demme curates the
exhibition featuring the works of ten Haitian
artists. A long-time Haitian art enthusiast
and avid collector, Demme has been a fervent
advocate for Haiti through the years. He’s
embraced Haiti both through his films and
his collaborations with Haitian writers such
as Edwige Danticat and musicians such as
RAM and Wyclef Jean. Though each of the
self-taught artists showcased in the exhibition
has a unique style of painting, their topic—
the rich cultural landscape of daily life in
Haiti—unites them, presenting a detailed
and poignant portrait of their country.
