WINTER 2014
Last Stop, Flamingo--the final
film of the Florida trilogy--will have its world premiere at the U.S.
Super 8 Film & Video Festival, held on the campus of Rutgers
University. The experimental 16mm film essay, Message from my Centenarian, will
be distributed by The Journal of Short Film (Volume 31). View
film here.
FALL 2013
Production
was completed on In the Cave Where the Spirit Dwells. Post-production
begins this fall in Seattle, WA. The project documents various forms of
cultural resistance in the face of a long history of colonial and
post-colonial oppression.
At the center of this investigation are rural Vodou practices--a
syncretic religious
system which yields a radical understanding of human relations to the
physical and metaphysical realms. It is through this lens that a deeper
understanding of the
complex history of social injustices in Haiti can be better
understood.

The Houngan (Vodou spiritual leader) Extanta Aolee leads his followers into a cave in the mountains of Duchity. Historically, these remote caves were the dwelling places of slaves escaping French plantations. It is said the loa (spirits) reside in every cave in Haiti. The Houngan Extanta Aolee leads a ceremony to conjure the loa within the sacred cave. |

to premiere at the Indie Grits Film Festival in Columbia, SC.
The Search for Norumbega (2012; 16mm; 19:00; Georg Koszulinski)
On the earliest European maps of North America, the unexplored region
of present-day Maine was often labeled “Norumbega.” The
fabled land was said to be hidden within this vast wilderness, and
numerous cartographies placed Norumbega along Maine’s Penobscot
River. But did Norumbega ever actually exist, or was it simply a
European projection onto an unknown North American landscape—the
desire to imagine a space divorced from the problems of European
history? If Norumbega was anything more than a mythologized landscape,
the limits of knowledge fail to prove its existence. Perhaps the poetic
capabilities of the moving image will manifest an alternative future
geography—a Norumbega that exists beyond the limits of history,
cartography, and nationality.
