was completely destroyed in Tuesday’s earthquake. The Ciné
Institute provided Haitian youth with film education and
edutainment, technical training, and media related micro
enterprise opportunities.
It is now gone.
BUT…the students (all of whom survived) went back into the
rubble of their building and found their cameras. And they are
now shooting – making a visual record of Haitians (by
Haitians) during this crisis.
What can we do?
The Institute relies on the support of individuals,
organizations and film professionals from around the world to
support a movement that harnesses the power of film to educate
and create opportunity for Haiti’s youth.
Check out the website and donate anything you can to help
rebuild the school – and give these passionate students hope
for their future. http://www.cineinstitute.com
