IntranQu’îllités

A film by Edward Owles (20 mins, Haiti, 2020) 

Lyrically narrated by award-winning Haitian poet James Noël, 'IntranQu’îllités' interweaves the work of several Haitian artists who want to redefine how their nation is perceived. From a tree-based sculpture responding to the earthquake of 2010, to a video artist’s interpretation of a vodou waterfall festival, the film explores the role of art in society and the timeless importance of creativity.
