About the Film
Directed and produced by Jacquil Constant, Haiti Is A Nation of Artists tells the story of Haitian artists creating transformational art after a devastating earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010. The documentary depicts the humanity of Haitian culture through the lens of a Haitian-American filmmaker who seeks to uplift the rich diversity of Haiti and its historical legacy. The film, affectionately named after an interaction Constant had with Carine Fabius, an art curator in West Hollywood, went on to screen at Cannes Film Festival in 2022.
