Louis Henderson is a filmmaker and writer who experiments with different ways of working with people to address and question of our current global condition, defined by racial capitalism and ever-present histories of the European colonial project. Since 2017, Henderson has been working within the artist group The Living and the Dead Ensemble. Based between Haiti and France, they focus on theater, poetry, and cinema. Their first feature film Ouvertures was awarded a FIPRESCI special mention at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival 2020. Henderson also has a continuing collaboration with the musician and artist João Polido: together they make installations with musical and narrative audio essays that narrate their shared interest in music as a form of political and social commentary. Henderson’s work has been shown in various international film festivals, art museums, and biennials and is distributed by LUX and Video Data Bank. He lives and works in Paris.
