Haiti Fundraiser: Screening + Panel


Hello Everyone,

EchoChamber, in conjunction with the Make Agency, is hosting a special screening of Jonathan Demme's acclaimed documentary Haiti: Dreams of Democracy at the SoHo House in New York City on February 2, 7-9pm. Following the screening we will be hosting a panel featuring artists, journalists and activists that have spent considerable time in Haiti recently.

There is a $20 minimum suggested donation to benefit the Cine Institute in Jacmel, Haiti, the only film school in the country. The Cine Institute was all but destroyed during the recent quake, yet it's students are still finding ways to tell their stories at this critical time in Haitian history.

Invitation is attached below, please RSVP immediately if you'd like to attend as space is very limited. If you can't make it on Tuesday, please consider making a donation anyway, or buying an EchoChamber HELP HAITI t-shirt for $18. We will be giving 100% of the proceeds to the Cine Institute.

To learn more about the school, please watch the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp6hNfbTd2g or visit http://www.cineinstitute.com/news/

Warmest Regards,

Smriti Mundhra
