| A Voodoo memory (2008) by Irène Lichtenstein
Click on the picture for more information Marianne Lehmann was born in Kirchberg, in the canton of Bern, Switzerland, in 1936. She married a Haitian lawyer before settling in Port-au-Prince in 1957. Fascinated with the voodoo cult, she began collecting objects in the 1970's, preventing them from being sold abroad. Over the years, she amassed an extraordinary collection - the most important in the world - with the intention of donating it to Haiti. Filmed as a portrait of this exceptional and rebel-minded woman, "A Voodoo Memory" reveals the beauty of the objects of her collection, provides a deeper understanding of their significance and importance for the world cultural heritage, and highlights the close ties between Haitian voodoo, the slave revolt, and the creation of the first Black nation.

Agua Viva (2008)
Click on the picture for more information "E doce morrer no mar" (It is so sweet to die offshore) wrote Jorge Amado in 1936 about Iemanja, the Goddess of the seas and the oceans, the one who feeds men, but who is also fed by them; the one who entices fishermen to the depths of the ocean, to her unknown waters where they share her love nest. How is myth of Iemanja perpetuated today? At Ilheus, in Brazil, there are many beliefs and legends that feed into the often intangible ties that are forged between fishermen and the sea. "Agua Viva" is an invitation to dive into this universe of life and death, where myth and reality converge.
