[Videolib] Remembering Haiti on the 2nd anniversary of the devastating quake...
Greetings everyone, Below is a promo video of my latest feature-length documentary film Broken Stones about self recovery after the devastating Haiti quake of January 12th, 2010. Kind regards, Guetty help center | e-mail options | report spam Guetty1 has shared a video with you on YouTube: BrokenStones (PromoVideo).mov 2012 - Promo video for the upcoming feature-length documentary Broken Stones by Guetty Felin The oldest neighborhood of the city of Port-au-Prince, Quartier Cathédrale (Cathedral Quarter) is one of the most symbolic in the history of Haiti. It is in this very neighborhood that the city was founded in 1749 and it is also in the older wooden cathedral where Jean-Jacques Dessalines was crowned emperor of Haiti in 1804. Cathedral quarter was also the hardest hit by the terrifying earthquake on January 12th 2010, it is there that the bulk of the documentary Broken Stones was shot. © 2012 YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066 Guetty Felin-Cohen 415-375-0670 www.bellemoonproductions.com Where Storytelling is Art!

Re: [Videolib] Looking for Haitian Films
For Moloch I know Velvet Films detains all the rights but Man by The Shore the executive producer JBA has the rights I don't know who is the American distributor for this title? Is it okay if I forward your request to Peck's assistant in Paris? Guetty On Nov 9, 2010, at 6:11 AM, Jean Reese wrote: Hi, All I'm looking for two Haitian films a faculty member has requested. So, far far no luck in finding them on dvd. Moloch Tropical (Raoul Peck, 2009, France/Haiti, 107 minutes.) Man by the Shore (Raoul Peck, 1993, France/Haiti, 106 minutes.)

Re: [Videolib] Copyright Act Reform proposed
Hello Gary, I receive news from the listserve but for some reason I can't be part of the conversation. Everytime I try to reply, no one gets my reply. Can you please look into that for me. Right now there is are interesting film suggestions for Haiti film series that Blain wants to do in SF as Haitin-American filmmaker I would love to jump into the conversation but I can't. I see that peole are coming up with titles but non of them beside Man by the Shore is made by a Haitian or Haitian-American filmmaker, I wonder why.
