The 3rd Annual Nou Akoma Nou Sinèji (We Heart We Synergy) Haitian Dominican Transnational Film Festival, taking place from October 9th to 12th in Harlem, NYC, aims to showcase art and films from emerging and accomplished industry professionals of the Haitian Dominican African Diaspora, reflecting our community’s diverse experiences and backgrounds authentically. Our programming in October 2025 promotes cultural diversity through various art forms, including drama, documentary, experimental, short films, and panel discussions.

Founded by the Dominicans Love Haitians Movement, the Nou Akoma Nou Sinèji Transnational Film Festival is a four-day celebration of a transnational experience that extends beyond the borders of these two nations, encompassing the experiences of the Haitian and Dominican Diasporas globally.

By telling our stories, we humanize Black and Indigenous people. By sharing our stories, we take a moment to bring down the veil and walls that would lock us away from our emotions and feelings, humanizing one another.

Thus, "no person is an island,” we are not isolated people; we are directly impacted by what occurs in one location thousands of miles away across the globe. Once we shift our gaze, we recognize the similarities of the crisis impacting not just these two nations but many nations across the globe dealing with statelessness, migration, ecological disaster, racialization, poverty, xenophobia, neoliberalism, nationalism, white supremacy and anti-blackness, border walls, and encampments. The Nou Akoma Nou Sinèji Haitian Dominican Transnational Film Festival is created to counteract the divisive ideologies and messages perpetuated by propaganda, manipulation, and hate groups.

Thank you for your continued support of Dominican Love Haitians Movement- Celebrating The Beauty Of Our Commonalities To Forge A Future Free From Oppression and Tyranny

The Dominicans Love Haitians Movement is an arts and culture non-profit organization that utilizes various art modalities to reflect on and reconcile with over 500 years of Eurocentrism. We aim to restore ALL PEOPLE's rights to live in an inclusive environment free from harmful negative narratives and propaganda that negates our commonalities and humanity. We use art as a cultural tool to learn tolerance, belonging, and dignity. Practicing decolonization leads to community healing and a pathway for new futures.

Your contribution of $15, $25, or $50 will help us expand our programming and build our capacity to serve you better, our community.
