Directed by Maya Annik Bedward, Black Zombie (2026) traces a journey through cinema and history to reveal how zombies evolved from Haitian spiritual traditions into Hollywood horror, exploring their deeper cultural significance as powerful symbols of resilience. Black Zombie is preceded by ZUMBI ZUMBI ETERNO (2023), an experimental film by artist Julien Creuzet that reclaims the word "zombie" from associations with death, returning it to its original Haitian vodou meanings of vitality, memory, and life beyond death.
Presented in conjunction with the MSU Broad Art Museum's exhibit on Caribbean Cinema Cultures. On view August 22, 2026 through January 31, 2027, this exhibit explores loss, memory, and the evolving meaning of cinema across the Caribbean.
The MSU Film Collective is organized by professors, students, filmmakers, screenwriters, and film lovers at MSU who gather weekly in the course FLM 200 to watch and discuss good films.
