Divine Horsemen: The Living Gods of Haiti

The read

It runs a compact 52m.

Synopsis

This intimate ethnographic study of Voudoun dances and rituals was shot by Maya Deren during her years in Haiti (1947-1951); she never edited the footage, so this “finished” version was made by Teiji Ito and Cherel Ito after Deren’s death.
