Cité Siam, Alliance Française

Rooted in Louisiana French and Kouri-Vini, this film highlights Creole Zydeco musicians whose language, sound, and spirit power the state’s cultural identity and tourism economy.

Taking the recent tsunami in Asia as its starting point, the filmmakers have used the idea of a ghost seen wandering along the rocky coastline of a Thai island and, in a life-affirming gesture, they have invited some local children to direct the film for them, suggesting and filming the movements of the actor-ghost.
