Culturespotting
There’s an old Haitian proverb: Ignorance doesn't kill you, but it makes you sweat a lot. So get culturally enlightened via the new Around the World in 80 Nights program at Cinema Paradiso (503 SE 6 St., Fort Lauderdale). This Tuesday, the first stop on this armchair world tour is Haiti with a presentation of the Haitian film Cousine by filmmaker Richard Senecal at 7 p.m. The film, which won awards for outstanding achievement at the 2006 Brooklyn International Film Festival, follows a young girl in Port-au-Prince who must fend for herself after she loses her father.
