| Brief Description: | A powerful documentary from Chicago filmmaker Mark Mamalakis on the
absorbing art movement that has emerged from the rage, poverty and
passion of Third World cultures, specifically Haiti. The film includes
interviews with artists Philome Obin and Rigaud Benoit and detailed
retrospectives of painters Hector Hyppolite and Andre Pierre. The
"program isexquisitely shot and edited, giving the feeling that some
of the paintings could have been made from your film." The works of
twelve prominent artists are juxtaposed with voice-over narration,
interviews and traditional Haitian folk music. |
