HIFF Presents Films by Haitian Filmmakers at the 74th Season of the Festival de Cannes Virtual Platform from July 6-15, 2021
Hollywood, California Jul 6, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - The Haiti International Film Festival, based in Hollywood, California, expands globally through its partnership with the Festival de Cannes. "The world's embrace of virtual events has benefitted the entertainment industry's reach beyond its borders," said Jacquil Constant, the executive director and founder of the HIFF that was established in 2015. "We are excited about the launch of Pavillon Afriques in France." Since May 2019, the Pavillon Afriques was housed inside the Film Market section of the Festival de Cannes dedicated to the business of film in the African continent and the diaspora.
The Pavillon Afriques runs from July 6 to 15, 2021 with free screenings at 7:30 p.m. (Paris Time). "Our mission is for the world to discover award-winning Haitian films and provide our filmmakers a global platform," said Constant who received the 2020 Caribbean Cultural Innovator Award by myKEEtv, the premier Caribbean TV and magazine in Los Angeles, Canada, and Jamaica. "The key lessons are networking and learning about the film business from an international level at the Cannes Film Festival."
