Broken Stones (2012)
A 60-minute documentary by Guetty Felin
Destroyed in the devastating earthquake that brought the capital of Haiti to its knees on January 12, 2010, the Cathedral of Port-au-Prince was one of the most important and symbolic edifices in the entire country. It is in the neighborhood of the Cathedral that the city of Port-au-Prince was founded in 1749 and in the old cathedral, on that same square, that one of the main leaders of the Haitian revolution Jean Jacques Dessallines was crowned emperor of Haiti in 1804. This one hour poetic documentary is a cinematic metaphor on the reconstruction of the Haitian self. "Those broken stones are an allegory of the Haitian soul, which suffered an unbearable shock on January 12." Pierre Clitandre, Haitian writer and Painter.

CLOSER TO THE DREAM (2010)
Written and Directed by Guetty Felin and Hervé Cohen
“This film captures, through the moving frame of one family's personal and professional commitment, the compelling arc of Obama's campaign for the Democratic party nomination. Journeying from their home in Paris, the filmmakers and their sons talk to an incredible range of people, capturing them with an honesty and intelligence that is remarkable. The film is an antidote to mainstream news portrayals of the campaign, and delivers many reasons for hope about the future of the American experiment”. --Gina Maranto, journalist, Cultural Critic, University Professor.
