Nou Akoma Nou Sinèrji Haitian Dominican Transnational Film Festival aims to showcase art and films from emerging and accomplished industry professionals of the Haitian Dominican African Diaspora to reflect our community’s diverse experiences and backgrounds authentically. Its three-day programming in Oct 11-13, 2023 promotes cultural diversity through various art genres, including dramatic, documentary, experimental, short films, podcasts, and panel discussions.
Nou Akoma Nou Sinèrj, We Heart We Synergy, as an indigenous practice, is invoking symbols and words to shift perspectives and embody ways of practicing goodwill, understanding, endurance, and patience as we cooperate, reconciling and healing the fractured parts to create a whole, humanizing Black and Indigenous people.
Thus, “no person is an island,” we are not isolated people; we are directly impacted by what occurs in one location thousands of miles away across the globe. Once we shift our gaze, we recognize the similarities of the crisis impacting not just these two nations but many nations around the world dealing with statelessness, migration, ecological disaster, racialization, poverty, xenophobia, neoliberalism, nationalism, white supremacy and anti-blackness, border walls, and encampments. Nou Akoma Nou Sinèrji Haitian Dominican Transnational Film Festival is counteracting divisive ideologies and messages.
