Nou Akoma Nou Sinèrji Transnational Film Festival
Nou Akoma Nou Sinèrji Haitian Dominican Transnational Film Festival and Symposium aims to showcase art and films from emerging and accomplished industry professionals of the Haitian Dominican African Diaspora to authentically reflect our community’s diverse experiences and backgrounds. Its four-day program promotes cultural diversity through various art genres, including dramatic, documentary, experimental, short films, podcasts, and panel discussions.
Founded by Dominicans Love Haitians Movement, Nou Akoma Nou Sinèrji Transnational Film Festival is a four-day festival celebrating a transnational experience, one that extends beyond the borders of these two nations and encompasses the experiences of the Haitian and Dominican Diaspora globally.
By telling our stories, we humanize Black and Indigenous people. By telling our stories, we take a moment to bring the veil and walls down that would lock us away from our emotions and feelings, humanizing one another.

“The Right to Have Rights” - An Open Call for Artwork & Proposals
Dominicans Love Haitians Movement is proud to present its second annual Nou Akoma Nou Sinèrji Haitian Dominican Transnational Symposium theme: “The Right to Have Rights.” Wednesday, October 9 - Saturday, October 12, 2024 @ St. Francis College, Brooklyn, NY.
While many contend the innate and inalienable nature of human rights, history and the present have shown that the absence of an entity (a country, a nation state, a community, an organization) to effectively uphold them can render this alleged fundamental birthright essentially meaningless. Use of the terms “dignity” and “worth” in the United Nations’ 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights was supposedly meant to extend inclusivity to all human beings under blanket phrasing like “all peoples and all nations,” “brotherhood,” and “all members of the human family” but has fallen reprehensibly short. In action, said declaration has been glaringly dismissive of the respective and systematic enslavements, genocides, and apartheids endured by marginalized African and Indigenous peoples and diasporas worldwide in the past and present.
Dominicans Love Haitians Movement invites artists, performers, panels, and podcasts to submit artwork and proposals related to the aforementioned topics.
For consideration, please submit a proposal by Sunday, August 5th, 2024, 11:59 PM EST.
