Director:Diana Larrea

Film: Querido Pequeño Haiti

Bio: “Querido Pequeño Haiti” is an experimental documentary, a love letter to a place that will forever be home, a visual ode, and a farewell to a neighborhood that is rapidly changing due to the forces of gentrification and Miami’s housing crisis.

From the gaze of a Peruvian resident who lived in Little Haiti, the film juxtaposes personal images documented over the past eight years with the new developments in the community. It is a letter to the Haitian and Latinx communities, who are homesick but try to find themselves in every other culture in hopes of belonging to a place and making it home.
