Catalog Information

The films were made during a 5 week intensive training in documentary filmmaking provided by CSFilm Storytellers with backgrounds in a diversity of storytelling mediums, including print, radio, photo or TV journalism, theater, poetry etc., produced engaging stories about important social and economic development issues in their communities. Their 10 short films provide a unique opportunity to experience Haiti as it is lived by street vendors, business women, artists, farmers and more. These stories nourish an understanding of the world that counteracts the relentless focus of western media on battlefronts, crises and disasters. For many of the trainees, this is their first experience with filmmaking.
