The Accolade is unique; it is an awards competition, not a traditional film festival. Awards go to those filmmakers, television producers and videographers who produce fresh, standout entertainment, animation and compelling documentaries. It is a showcase for cinematic gems and unique voices.
Most importantly, The Accolade team works passionately to help worthy productions gain the publicity and distribution they deserve. That is what The Accolade is all about: helping winners of this ...
Le miraculé, c’est un haïtien de 22 ans qui est resté onze jours bloqué dans un trou sans lumière sous les ruines de la boutique dans laquelle il travaillait ce 21 janvier lors du tremblement de terre. Il a fait la « une » de la presse internationale, mais c’est en partie grâce à des bénévoles grecs, que ce jeune homme a pu être sauvé. C’est l’incroyable histoire que nous raconte ce film, celle d’une équipe de civils, qui s’est mise en route, grâce ...

Not counting The Cocoanuts 's Marx brothers, any fool can thrive in Florida during boon times. To ride a bust takes vision, though, which must be what the Miami International Film Festival has. For its 27th edition (March 5-14, 2010), the Festival has reportedly seen a 35 percent bump in advance ticket sales, and surely that makes it a seer. The MIFF is produced and hosted by Miami-Dade College. With jobs down and campus admissions up, the only major film festival with such academic credentials...

Virtual keyboard solidarity alone will
not sustain Haiti's recovery. Tangible projects are needed on the
ground with medium and long-term focus.
The
critics should not forget that the 60-year old Berlin International
Film Festival started at a time when Germany was dotted with World War
II rubble. The Sundance Film Festival started on a very modest footing.
The theme of the maiden edition of CineAyiti International Film Festival is “Cinema and National Recovery.”
Before
the quake of 12 January 2010, Haiti had one film festival (Festival
Film Jakmèl) on the Southern Corridor initiated by the respected Ciné
Institute. There existed also a young but vibrant home video scene with
inputs from the Haitians in the Diaspora (USA, Canada, UK, France).
This
"CineAyiti International Film Festival" in Cap - Haitien on the
Northern Corridor, seeks not to only complement the Southern Corridor
event but also support the emergence of a diversified Haitian Audio
Visual Industry after the quake of 12 January 2010.
Many
film-making countries like the USA, UK, Canada, China, South Korea,
Germany, France, South Africa or Nigeria have more than five different
annual film festivals each.
Therefore,
Haiti having two film festivals - the "Festival Film Jakmèl" on the
South in Jacmel and "CineAyiti International Film Festival" on the
North of the country in Cap-Haitien is a positive development and the
winners will be the Haitian and international creative talents.
By
submitting your film, getting your accreditation or becoming a patron
,you contribute towards the sustained concrete recovery of Haiti's
motion pictures industry.

The recent tragic events in Haiti have given an unexpected resonance to a new documentary on child sponsoring that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this past weekend. A SMALL ACT by Jennifer Arnold looks at the modern day phenomenon of Westerners sponsorship and adoption of third world children.
With the Haitian crisis generating hundreds of millions of dollars in aid from almost every nation of the world, often by exploiting images of ...
This morning we toured the "street schools" in the slums of Cite Soleil and surrounding areas, the poorest neighborhoods in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere; the schools sponsored by NPH International and Artists for Peace and Justice (APJ). Most were destroyed. The good news was that the quake hit just as school had let out, so nowhere near as many children were killed as we feared. Still, too many. We met many people who had lost children, sisters and brothers. W...

I was afraid I was going to have to introduce myself. I'm here because of my loyalty to Paul Newman. Our autobiography? We met many years ago through work and became pals. When we became friends. One thing we agreed upon was that we both took work seriously, but did not take ourselves seriously. We played a lot of games/pranks and had a lot of fun, some of it mythology, some of it truth. As for life in general, we were both aware of the joy of success. Along the way, he ad the chance to fo...
