Stolen Images: Screenplays and Writings

0/5 ( ratings)

"A filmmaker with a fine eye for people and landscapes."--The New York Times

Collected for the first time are filmmaker Raoul Peck's screenplays from nine major features and documentary films, including excerpts from Lumumba, the award-winning feature about Republic of Congo Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba, and The Man by the Shore, the first Haitian film ever to screen in theaters in the United States and the first Caribbean film ever entered into competition at the Cannes Film Festival. With over one hundred production stills, storyboards, and poster art, Stolen Images also includes an introduction by Kenneth Turan.

Raoul Peck's feature films and documentaries explore internationalist themes of inequality and offer compelling depictions of Haiti under political duress. In addition to filmmaking, Peck has served as Haiti's minister of culture. In 2001, he received the Human Rights Watch Lifetime Achievement Award.

Catherine Temerson's translations include Amin Maalouf's Origins, Elie Wiesel's A Mad Desire to Dance, Florence Noiville's Isaac B. Singer: A Life, and Hiner Saleem's My Father's Rifle: A Childhood in Kurdistan.
