Art of Haiti, 1982 [A]
Mark Mamalakis
doc.
26 min
subtitled in English

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 is àn exquisitely
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.
