Haitian Film Festival

A virtual screening of two films by Haitian directors will include a Q&A session.

Ayiti: The Awakening, directed by Sage Love, is a film about a young man’s journey to explore his ancestral roots and the troubled history of Ayiti after the impact of Haiti’s 2010 earthquake.

Nou Se Fos, directed by Chalky The King, is a spiritual fantasy film that follows the protagonist JEAN, a Haitian teenager who awakens his unique supernatural abilities after being racially profiled by the police. 

After the screening there will be a Zoom Q&A with the films' directors.

Love, director of Ayiti: The Awakening is an award-winning, Ayitian-born, Brooklyn-raised filmmaker and entrepreneur who has written, directed and produced numerous films that have screened at film festivals in the U.S and overseas.
