In God’s Possession (En Posesión de Dios)

From experimental non-fiction filmmaker Georg Koszulinski comes a visual chronicle of the Vodou religion as practiced in the rural mountains of Haiti. The Vodou religion continues to be a central aspect of Haitian cultural identity, yet rural Vodou practices remain virtually un-documented. Loa presents Koszulinski’s expressive account of rural Vodou via a portrait of the houngan Etanta Aoleé, who has served the loa, the sacred spirits of Haiti, for over a half century. -Jennifer Morris
