Nothing, according to the enslaved inhabitants of Haiti, who rebelled against the owners of the sugar cane plantations in 1791. In 1961, Antillean writer \u00c9douard Glissant dedicated his play <em>Monsieur Toussaint\u00a0<\/em>to their leader Toussaint Louverture, which in turn serves as the basis for <em>Ouvertures<\/em>. Louis Henderson, Olivier Marboeuf and the theatre group The Living and The Dead Ensemble film themselves rehearsing the play in Port-au-Prince. The result is an experiment in three parts: a study retracing Louverture\u2019s steps, an analysis of shared authorship and collective filmmaking and finally the outburst of a magical reality in which the spirits of the dead are alive.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This film is part of the &#8220;Collaborative Film\u00a0<span style=\"caret-color: #ff0000;\">Making<\/span>&#8221; month.
