Shirley Bruno

Tezen

Fiction expérimentale | hdv | couleur | 28:0 | USA, Haiti | 2016

A restless daughter meets a spirit who gives her pure water. Her family devours the delicious water until they begin to suspect more than the origin of its taste. A traditional folktale retold entirely featuring a cast of nonactors from one family made of three generations

Shirley Bruno's films draw from her Haitian heritage preserving and radicalizing her ancestral traditions and mythology. She creates modern myths that expose the slippery spaces between the material and metaphysical world, between collective memory and history. In her work she explores the everyday, the Sacred, and the intimate violence in the things left unsaid that mark us generation after generation. Shirley holds a Masters with Distinction from London Film School and a Masters II with Mention from Le Fresnoy - Studio National des Arts Contemporains where she was an artist fellow. She works alternately between New York, France, and Haiti.
