I know i'm four years late, but i didn't know there was a film of the Black Macbeth at all! Who has this wonderfully quirky collection, and has seen the Black Macbeth?

"to the only film of Orson Welles's legendary 1936 Haiti-set stage production of Macbeth in the 1937 documentary We Work Again"

"Treasures from American Film Archives (2000) "

You may remember me from such sites as imdb, amazon and criterionforum as Ben Cheshire.

From what I understand, there exists only five minutes of footage from the Voodoo Macbeth. I'm guessing it is included on this set. There is also about a minute or two of this footage in The Battle Over Citizen Kane. I found it very interesting. Like they said in the doc, it looks completely chaotic, but was obviously well-choreographed.
