“Jean’s Ludi is the type of low-stakes drama that’s easy to root for, and even more wonderful to see.” – Robert Daniels, The Playlist
“This is one of the best films of the year so far, and that comes as a result of the hard work and dedication from everyone involved.” – Kyle Bain, Film Threat
Celebrate the opening of ADIFF Chicago 2023 with a special screening of Edson Jean’s award-winning film Ludi followed by a Q&A and reception.
After a half-truth lands her under immense financial pressure, Ludi Alcidor embarks on a frantic scour through Miami’s private care-taking world in an increasingly desperate attempt to send money to her family in Haiti. Ludi’s interaction with her Cuban landlord and her senior Jewish client, offers a glance at the life of Haitian immigrants in Miami.
Screening in English and Haitian Creole with English subtitles.
