Question: Do both Hridayathil Sookshikkan and Divine Horsemen: The Living Gods Of Haiti films have the directors from the same country?

Jacques-Victor Henry, Prince Royal of Haiti (3 March 1804 – 18 October 1820) was the heir apparent to the throne of the Kingdom of Haiti. He was the youngest child of Henri Christophe, then a general in the Haitian Army, by his wife Marie-Louise Coidavid. His father became President of the state of Haiti in 1807, and on March 28, 1811 he was proclaimed King of Haiti. The Prince Royal had two older brothers who both died before the proclamation of the kingdom, so he became the heir apparent with the title Prince Royal of Haiti, which came with the style of Royal Highness. Following the death of his father on October 8, 1820, the Prince Royal should have been proclaimed as King Henry II of Haiti, but the country was already in turmoil and he never had a chance. Ten days later, he was killed after being bayoneted by revolutionaries at the Sans-Souci Palace. <SEP> It is about dance and possession in Haitian vodou that was shot by experimental filmmaker Maya Deren between 1947 and 1954. Divine Horsemen: The Living Gods of Haiti( 1985) is a black- and- white documentary film of approximately 52 minutes. In 1981, twenty years after Deren's death, the film was completed by Deren's third husband Teiji Ito( 1935- 1982) and his wife Cherel Winett Ito( 1947- 1999). Most of the film consists of images of dancing and bodies in motion during rituals in Rada and Petro services. Deren had studied dance as well as photography and filmmaking. She originally went to Haiti, with the funding from a Guggenheim fellowship, and the stated intention of filming the dancing that forms a crucial part of the vodou ceremony. In 1953, Deren's book" Divine Horsemen: The Voodoo Gods of Haiti", on the subject of vodou, was published by Vanguard Press. The film that resulted, however, reflected Deren's increasing personal engagement with vodou and its practitioners( Wilcken, 1986). While this ultimately resulted in Deren disregarding the guidelines of the fellowship, Deren was able to record scenes that probably would have been inaccessible to other filmmakers. Deren's original notes, film footage, and wire recordings are in the Maya Deren Collection at Boston University's Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center and at Anthology Film Archives. <SEP> He is credited with setting a new trend in Malayalam cinema with his thriller, "Traffic" (2011).

Maya Deren( April 29, 1917 – October 13, 1961), born Eleonora Derenkowska, was a Ukrainian- born American experimental filmmaker and important promoter of the avant- garde in the 1940s and 1950s. The function of film, Deren believed, was to create an experience. She combined her expertise in dance and choreography, ethnography, the African spirit religion of Haitian Vodou, symbolist poetry and gestalt psychology( student of Kurt Koffka) in a series of perceptual, black- and- white short films. Using editing, multiple exposures, jump- cutting, superimposition, slow- motion, and other camera techniques to her advantage, Deren abandoned established notions of physical space and time, in carefully planned films with specific conceptual aims. " Meshes of the Afternoon"( 1943), her collaboration with Alexander Hammid, has been one of the most influential experimental films in American cinema history. She went on to make several films of her own, including" At Land"( 1944)," A Study in Choreography for Camera"( 1945), and" Ritual in Transfigured Time"( 1946), writing, producing, directing, editing, and photographing them with help from only one other person, Hella Heyman, her camerawoman.
