23763: (seek) Bruno: Jorgen Leth

Greetings!
I am a Haitian independent filmmaker based in NYC and I am working on a
experimental documentary on Haitian political music. Although, I was
familiar
with Jorgen Leth as an influence on Dogma filmmakers (especially on Lars
Von
Tier) I only recently discovered Leth's interest with Haiti and his
collection
of work on Haitian politics, art, and culture.  His films on Haiti
intrigue
me and the innovative & surrealistic ideas behind them actually seem
to parallel some of my own. I would love to learn more about his work but
I
can't seem to find his films anywhere- where's a good and reliable place
to
start?

I would like to get in contact with him or his production company- I
believe my
own film has international appeal and I'm in search of a producer to
expound on
it and I think he might be interested. Also, I am looking for footage of
protest in Haiti taken over the past 40 years, particularly those that
include
protest song. Any leads would be quite helpful. Thank you.

Best regards,
