AND she filmed in Jacmel, Haiti, despite the difficult circumstances there right now.

AND she had a massive standing ovation at Cannes. Kudos to her, truly

[Chokarella @chokarella]

La cinéaste haïtienne Gessica Généus a présenté ce jeudi à la Cannes Film Festival son nouveau long-métrage « Marie Madeleine », inscrit au programme de cette édition.

L’histoire se déroule dans la ville de Jacmel. Le film met en scène une femme qui tente de gérer son quotidien en vivant du travail du sexe. Son parcours bascule lorsqu’elle fait la rencontre d’un jeune homme, Joseph, engagé dans une démarche religieuse, mais confronté à ses propres interrogations.

Au fil du récit, les trajectoires des deux personnages se croisent autour de questions liées à la foi, aux normes sociales et aux choix personnels. Cette nouvelle projection confirme la présence régulière de productions haïtiennes dans les grands rendez-vous internationaux du cinéma.

This when CARICOM and the UN are increasingly recognizing "linguistic rights" as a fundamental part of the reparatory justice framework for us

[Duchess of Brixton ❤️🖤💚☭ @fufuisonme]

This is linguistic neo-colonialism in action: the elevation of the colonial language as the sole “legitimate” register, while the mother tongue of the majority is treated as informal. Big up the minister for challenging this, she should have had the full support of the house.

@KyleAnthonie Seeing an artist of his stature, especially coming off his first Oscar nomination for Sinners, choose Jamaica as the setting for his directorial debut is incredibly exciting

[Frances-Anne Solomon @FrancesAnne]

@BlkHistStudies I love that we are decolonizing travel. We are moving away from the tourist gaze and toward a Sovereign Sight.

[Frances-Anne Solomon @FrancesAnne]

@rendy_jones Great Review. Added a new one to my watch list

[Frances-Anne Solomon @FrancesAnne]

@Tropixsofficial Yep, Dancehall is the global heartbeat

[Frances-Anne Solomon @FrancesAnne]

The fact that a series set in Martinique, featuring local talent like Djody Grimeau and the trap artist Evil P, can hit 40.5 million hours viewed in a single week and still be discarded is a perfect example of how the "streaming script" is still not written for us.

I am sitting with so many emotions right now

Haiti is finally getting some kind of justice! A Miami jury just found four men guilty in the assassination of the Haitian President Jovenel Moïse! It's still just a drop in the ocean of what Haiti is owed but we are getting somewhere

The real Caribbean was never meant for the tourist gaze and moments like this prove it!

[ebonically intelligent papi 🌻 @julianakilrose]

All these Caribbean countries bringing out their most indigenous culture — that of the Americas and Africa — to show Speed is incredible to see.

Such stark contrast with what these tourist boards will act proud to show. Clearly, the people feel differently

[Frances-Anne Solomon @FrancesAnne]

@DrMattPettway Reclaiming Manzano and Plácido as spiritual revolutionaries rather than just 'Catholic poets' is exactly the kind of decolonial work we need in 2026. I would love to pick up my copy before the 15th! Congrats

Creamy coconut corn!
Popular in Caribbean (Trinidadian🇹🇹) and Tanzanian🇹🇿 cuisine, it infuses the kernels with a sweet and savory sauce.
Use full fat coconut milk for the best flavor.
How much you eating?

[Frances-Anne Solomon @FrancesAnne]

@CarrieCnh12 This is an incredibly heavy and urgent situation, wow. I am proud of these girls for showing up and refusing to be silenced

[Frances-Anne Solomon @FrancesAnne]

@washbelly345 So, so proud

[Frances-Anne Solomon @FrancesAnne]

They say it takes a village, but in the Caribbean, the mothers are the village. My Caribbean Family, enjoy our Mother Days collections this weekend!

[CaribbeanTales @CaribbeanTales_]

The Caribbean has always known that mothers hold the world together, and our films show exactly why.

Ziggy Marley’s new short film 'Racism Is A Killa' is the newest addition to my watch list. I'm so excited that more Caribbean voices are telling Caribbean stories on screen

[Frances-Anne Solomon @FrancesAnne]

There are some Alan Lomax recording sessions in Levera, Saint Patrick ( 1962) that capture some of these sessions. Definitely a recommendation
