“Out of Chaos, An Artist’s Journey in Haiti” Film Screening, benefiting Haitian Earthquake Relief

On Sunday, October 3, 2021, at 4 PM, the award-winning documentary film Out of Chaos, An Artist’s Journey in Haiti will screen at event venue 118 Elliot Street in Brattleboro, VT. Director Pascal Giacomini and Writer/Producer Carine Fabius will be on hand for a Q&A following the screening. The suggested entry donation is ten dollars but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
In 2018, Galerie Lakaye produced the 70-minute feature documentary, Out of Chaos, An Artist’s Journey in Haiti, which has been screened to great acclaim at 34 film festivals worldwide,  garnering a Best Director Award at the Amsterdam World International Film Festival. Directed by Pascal Giacomini, and written and produced by Haitian native Carine Fabius, the powerfully evocative film finds an unexpected art explosion in a Haitian slum, where Black artists living in extreme poverty create  extraordinary art under impossible circumstances. Many of their works now belong to prominent international museums and private collections. Out of Chaos, An Artist’s Journey in Haiti is an unvarnished yet positive look at Haiti’s vibrant culture and indestructible spirit.

Pascal Giacomini and his wife/partner, Carine Fabius, own Galerie Lakaye, a contemporary ethnic art Gallery in Los Angeles with a focus on Haitian art. To chart a course toward meaningful, effective change in support of the global Black Lives Matter Movement, Galerie Lakaye has launched a campaign to provide Out of Chaos, An Artist’s Journey in Haiti as an educational tool at high school and university levels. Using the film as its focal point, Galerie Lakaye developed a dynamic  curriculum that facilitates important discussions about diversity and inclusion, systemic racism, poverty, inequity, sustainable art creation, and the Black experience. Galerie Lakaye hopes viewers will be moved by the documentary and inspired to support the educational use of this outstanding film, which has already been screened at Duke University, Cal State Northridge, University of Virginia, and many others across the U.S.
