Remember the rain

Montréal-born photographer Xavier Girard Lachaîne makes his directorial debut in a film revealing food as the umbilical cord connecting the Haitian community in his home city to their cultural roots in the Caribbean. The protagonists of the fledgling director’s project are the parents of High Klassified, Shash’U and Yung Gayance, three Haitian Canadian music producers and creators shaking up Montréal’s sound. Lachaîne explains: “The young, creative music scene of my generation is a melting pot, a result of the clash of past and present cultures, immigration and adaptation. I feel that we are witnessing the birth of a new wave of beautiful creators with whom I grew up.“
