April in Paris finale- Friday, April 12 at Cinestudio
Please join us for a festive reception from 6:45pm -7:30pm before the show. 

Feature film, Ouvertures at 7:30 pm by directors Louis Henderson and Olivier Marboeuf (2020) 132 min.

At a time of violent political upheaval in Haiti, Ouvertures explores the conflicted heart of the first country to win independence from European colonizers. The inspired collaboration is the work of directors Henderson and Marboeuf with a group of Haitian artists, actors and poets called The Living and the Dead Ensemble. “A mediation of how the pain and triumphs of a nation’s history are eternal. It is alive, breathing and evolving through the people they influence.”- Gabrielle Pascal, Haitian Times.     

After the screening, Professor Indira Karamcheti of Global South Asian Studies at Wesleyan University, will lead the discussion and field Q&A. https://cinestudio.org/film/ouvertures/
