Haitian Movies are among Haiti's most popular art; however, Haitian actors have not reached international audiences to the point of a Oscar winning recognition. Even in hard times, Haitians go to the movies. Now they're also making them in record numbers, about 10 feature films a year, rivaling Cuba as the Caribbean's biggest movie producer and often outselling better-financed imports. While most Haitian industries are stagnant, show business is booming, driven by plunging production costs and an appetite among Haitians at home and abroad for movies shot in their native Haitian Creole. Will we ever see a Haitian actor winning an Oscar Award? Do you think Oscar awards are made for small movie actors such as Haitians? Should Haitians develop their own Oscar Award Night? How will we nominate the Haitian actors? Haitian film production has risen 300 per cent in the last five years, including an explosion in straight-to-DVD releases shot in Haitian immigrant communities in the

The Haiti Recovery Act would encourage the elimination of Haiti’s remaining debt to international financial institutions, currently totaling over $1 billion. The Haiti Recovery Act will also instruct these institutions to offer grants rather than loan assistance to Haiti, in order to end the debt-relief cycle. The Haiti Recovery Act, legislation introduced by Senators Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Dick Lugar (R-IN), today passed the Senate by unanimous consent. “The people of Haiti face a long and difficult road ahead,” said Dodd. “But today, the United States Senate made it clear that they will not have to walk that road alone. Just as the worldwide outpouring of support helped to alleviate suffering in the days after the earthquake, this critical assistance which is the Haiti Recovery Act will help make it possible for the Haitian people to build a brighter future in the years to come.”
