Arnold Antonin

Arnold Antonin, born Celesti Corbanese, was born in Port-au-Prince in December 1942, to a Venetian father. A pupil of the Petit Séminaire Collège Saint-Martial, he left Haiti in 1961 and took the name by which he is known, in order to fight the dictatorship from an exile of twenty-five years. He studied economics in Rome, then lived in Venezuela and returned to Haiti in 1986. In 2002 he received the Djibril Diop Mambety Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, and he chaired the Haitian Association of Filmmakers from 2005 to 2009.
