A DOCUMENTARY BY JEREMY ROBINS. Raras have been described as everything from “vodou armies” to “underdog carnivals.” In the process of researching and interviewing for this documentary, practically everyone has had a different explanation of what rara is and where it comes from. Wesleyan University just launched an excellent research website organized by the rara scholar Elizabeth McAlister: http:/ rara.wesleyan.edu/.

The Other Side of the Water. A production diary for a documentary film about Haitian Rara Music in Brooklyn. Sunday, June 22, 2008. Production Background 3: Shooting Specs and Tools. The vast majority of this doc was shot on the Panasonic DVX100 MiniDV camera in 24P mode, 1/24th shutter (which added even more stutter, but gave another stop of light). For a few days we rented a shoulder mounted SDX900 with which we shot much of the city-scapes. Wednesday, June 18, 2008. These days, when I’m teaching...
