CI work on “We Are the World” featured: Huffington Post

We Are The World, “Nou Se Mond La”

Last week the new “We Are the World” video, dedicated to Haiti, aired during the Opening Ceremony of the Winter Olympics, and I’m really proud to have been a part of the experience. A key component of the project is a group of Haitian students from the Cine Institute, a film school in Jacmel, a city on the southern coast of Haiti. Jacmel, like so much of Haiti, was devastated, and the Institute was not spared. Luckily, none of the students were seriously injured, and they started filming immediately, turning their cameras toward the aftermath, documenting the wreckage and the relief effort. David Belle, the Cine Institute’s director, rushed to Jacmel to check on his students, and on the way, he was contacted by his friend and colleague Paul Haggis, who asked him to coordinate his students into traveling to Los Angeles to experience the video up close. Ten students arrived at the recording session a few days later, with cameras in hand to record the ‘making of’ the video, but were surprised to learn that they would also became part of the chorus, and part of the video.

MTV News: ‘We Are The World’ Director Celebrates Premiere With Haitian Film Students

NEW YORK — “We Are the World: 25 for Haiti” director Paul Haggis was responsible for putting together the visuals for the remake of the iconic musical hit. In the spirit of the original version’s charitable effort for Africa, the new effort was created to help the survivors of Haiti’s massive earthquake last month.

So, to make sure the new “We Are the World” video resonated with viewers, Haggis used Haitian film students as part of his crew.

Future filmmakers from the Ciné Institute in Jacmel, Haiti, helmed cameras of their own as they not only captured behind-the-scenes footage of the all-star cast, but provided the images from the wake of the earthquake that lit up the screens behind the musicians.

‘We are the World 25 for Haiti’ Premiere Tonight on NBC

Ciné Institute invites you to watch the world premiere of ‘We Are The World 25 For Haiti’. The video, made with the participation of eleven Ciné Institute students and staff who travelled to Los Angeles and eight other students who worked on the shoot in Haiti; will air during NBC’s coverage of the Opening Ceremony of the Vancouver Winter Olympics tonight, February 12, at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Paul Haggis directed the video and Ciné Institute founder David Belle, co-directed the featured Haiti scenes with Doug Liman. David is also directing a 40 minute documentary about the entire production. CI Students, school Director Andrew Bigosinski and Hermes Marco helped shoot the documentary. They are now editing it in New York. Hermes also shot the Haiti scenes for the music video.

The recording of ‘We Are The World 25 For Haiti’ embodies the same enthusiasm, sense of purpose and generosity as the original recording 25 years ago. Through the contributions of the new voices to this rendition of ‘We Are The World,’ and with the help of partners, the We Are The World Foundation will be committed to transparency and will help further the spirit of activism that was at the heart of the original song and movement.

The We Are The World Foundation, is a newly created not-for-profit organization founded by Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie. The Foundation is dedicated to raising money and to making grants to charitable organizations with meaningful and efficient relief and development programs that are responding to the continuing crisis in Haiti.

Friends of Ciné Institute Fundraiser in NYC

Those of you in the New York area are encouraged to join us at Tribeca Cinemas tomorrow night. Tuesday, February 9th. A group of students and staff from Ciné Institute will be present.

Friends of Ciné Institute (FOCI) is a group of NY-based crew members, producers and filmmakers working together to support and rebuild Ciné Institute. Their coalition includes Jonathan Demme, Annika Grove, Lindsay Jaeger, Nora Killoran, Charlie Libin, Betsy Reid, Alec Sash, Emily Sklar, Nina Shiffman, and Tracy Anderson and Katy Finch of Brooklyn Workforce Innovations.

As of January 13th, FOCI has worked in partnership with numerous New York film vendors and crews to arrange a shipment of donated equipment to Jacmel. Their shipping container of donated generators, lights and film equipment-along with a collection of much-needed basic medical supplies and personal items – recently left Brooklyn and is expected to arrive in Haiti later this month.

Now they need your help to get a team to Jacmel. A volunteer team of NY crew members from Locals 600 and 52 will travel to Haiti to offload and set up the equipment from the container in a coordinated effort with Ciné Institute and other relief organizations in the city of Jacmel.

This is just the first of many important initiatives that FOCI will undertake in the near future on the behalf of Ciné Institute.

We look forward to seeing you at the event!
