La Tête Ailleurs #3 : Islands Connection – Kouman Ou Ye Haïti

The La Tête Ailleurs screenings of the Île Courts Festival are an opportunity to venture on the cinematic path of a region of the world or on a particular theme. As well as a unique opportunity to meet the directors of some of the presented films and open up to foreign perspectives.    

Nicknamed “the Pearl of the Caribbean”, Haiti has many stories to tell. This is what the Ciné Institute based in Jacmel in the south of the country proposes with four Haitian short films screened in the presence of director Wood Jerry Gabriel. Offered by the Île Court Festival as part of a series of Tête Ailleurs screenings dedicated to the exploration of islands through cinema.

In collaboration with the Ciné Institute and the Institut Français de Maurice.
