The Crying Conch is a Canadian short drama film, directed by Vincent Toi and released in 2017.[1] The film centres on a man who is drawn into a rebellion that parallels the 18th-century story of Haitian revolutionary François Mackandal.[1]
The film premiered at the 2017 Berlin Film Festival,[2] and had its Canadian premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.[3] It was subsequently screened at the 2017 Vancouver International Film Festival, where Toi won the award for Most Promising Director of a Canadian Short Film.[4]
The film was named to TIFF's year-end Canada's Top Ten list for short films in 2017.[5]
