Cine Institute Update (3/12/2010)
The Cine Institute is Haiti's only film school. Its students have produced everything from commericals to documentaries. The Institute, which is in Jacmel, took heavy losses during the earthquake but continued to operate. The students produced video reports, assisted visiting journalists, and helped distribute relief supplies.

As Annie Nocenti, a Cine Institute instructor puts it, "We were a film school until yesterday. Our new mission is to do recovery stories...hopefully stories of Haitians rebuilding." Below is a thank you letter from the Institute to its partners.
