Haiti. Uden titel

Jørgen Leth, 1996

Jørgen Leth has made Haïti his second home for a number of years. In his cinema verité-style, he delves into Haïti's past and present to explore the nation's crazy quilt of non-fiction fiction, fantastic realism, voodoo, myth, mystery and bare-knuckled politicts. All the while, Leth is on the alert, looking, listening, but avoiding the common trap of making righteous political and social statements.

Fra hjertet til hånden

Tómas Gislason, 1994

»I have my children in Denmark, and I live in Haiti.« In this way Jørgen Leth, poet, journalist, expert commentator of bicycle races and above all film director, starts his film - or rather the film about himself. For once Jørgen Leth is not behind the camera, but in front of it as the main character.
