2022 PROJECTS
LES ÂMES BOSSALES | François Perlier
France, documentary, 80’
Production: Corpus Films
Synopsis: The "bossales" were the African slaves who won the Haitian war of independence. This term now qualifies a rebellious person, like the protagonists of the film: Charlotte, a human rights defender, Foukifoura, a satirical columnist, Édris, a videographer of the insurrection, Michou, a worker struggling to survive, Ramoncite, an enigmatic voodoo priest. In an explosive social context, they embody the soul of this country, an incandescent focus of political and spiritual resistance.

AGATHE, SOLANGE ET MOI | Louise Narboni
France, documentary, 78’
Production: Melodrama
Synopsis: It is the story of a young woman of today, Agathe, and a young woman of yesterday, Solange. The story of a granddaughter and her paternal grandmother. One is an actress, the other has painted and written all her life. One is alive, the other is not, but her presence remains intense. This is also the film of our funny story, Agathe's and mine. Our paths have recently crossed again, but there was a time before, a long time ago. It is the story of a family film and the time passing.
