HAITI ON FIRE, Take 3
July 23 to 26, 2009

Montreal, May 12, 2009 - After a most electrifying and highly successful 2nd edition, the Fabienne Colas Foundation (FCF) is pleased to announce the 3rd edition of Haiti on Fire, to be held in Montreal from July 23 to 26, 2009.

Four days of rich, hot, colourful outdoor and indoor activities, including shows, concerts, movies, theatre, crafts and Haitian cuisine, but above all, camaraderie, new discoveries, entertainment and interculturalism.

A major event dedicated to Haitian culture!

Part of the Montreal International Haitian Film Festival, or MIHFF, Haiti on Fire is the only event of its kind organized by the Fabienne Colas Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and promoting Haitian cinema, art and culture both here and abroad.

Haiti on Fire will showcase Haiti in all its diversity, its splendour and its cultural richness.

In July of last year, several thousand people of all ages and from many different nationalities came out to the 2nd edition of Haiti on Fire, presented by Loto-Québec, to experience or discover Haitian culture through an unforgettable performance by Haitian-Cuban vocal group Desandann, an imposing and colourful folk show called La Légende d'Anita (created by Fabienne Colas under the artistic coordination of Sara Renélik), the film La Rebelle by Sacha Parisot and the many flavours of authentic Haitian cuisine.

Standing ovations galore!

Everyone who's had a taste of Haiti on Fire will want to relive the experience this year. And for everyone else, Haiti on Fire has proven to be a date not to be missed!
