"Something for and against everybody"
Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center a.k.a. Zeitgeist Theatre Experiments, inc November 2017 was Zeitgeist's 31st Anniversary
and we are aging well! Zeitgeist has created a GoFundMe Campaign to make some much needed renovations and improvements to our space. DONATE
We just completed hanging new light & sound baffling curtains and new hanging light fixtures on dimmers over the concession and our soon to be specialty video rental store. We have also just purchased 6 new matching faux leather sofas with pull down armrests with cup holders. We have world class programming and we want our venue and the quality of our presentations to reflect that as well. Here is a list of the improvements we are hoping to make before the end of the Summer. 1. purchase 4 more matching couches and 5 lounge chairs 2. purchase and install 3 low hanging ceiling fans from center beam 3. Dark black or grey curtains/Masking for screen 4. purchase 8 cabaret tables for back area 5. custom build shelves on back wooden divider to open a video rental store 6. build a small DJ/projection booth, organize all chords and equipment 7. purchase a new sound system (2 Bose Towers) 8. improve the lighting for our outdoor sign and poster case This could be really great. Please help make it a reality.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ANDRE
Kate Novack (Fashion doc)
[TRAILER] [TICKETS]
André Leon Talley has been a fixture in the world of fashion for so long that it’s difficult to imagine a time when he wasn’t defining the boundaries of great style. Kate Novack’s intimate portrait, The Gospel According to André takes viewers on an emotional journey from André’s roots growing up in the segregated Jim Crow South to become one of the most influential tastemakers and fashion curators of our times.
Novack’s film draws fascinating, heretofore unexplored connections, between the elegance of André’s beloved grandmother and the Black Church of his youth and his later iconic, barrier-breaking work at publications like Women’s Wear Daily, W and Vogue. Weaving together a wealth of archival footage from the most glamorous moments in fashion history with André’s poignant reflections on his life and career, The Gospel According to André is a cinematic monument to one of the most unique figures of 20th Century American culture. Featuring commentary from fashion luminaries including Anna Wintour, Marc Jacobs and Tom Ford, The Gospel According to André is an indispensable addition to the growing canon of fashion documentary.

INDIGENOUS FILM SERIES
Tricentennial…Tri Again!
Do you know what it means to dismiss 1300 years of New Orleans history? colonialism, racism...
The City forgot to invite indigenous people to their history, so we are celebrating them all year long
Throughout the year, 2018 is being celebrated as both the 300th Anniversary of the City of New Orleans and the 100th Anniversary of the First Film to be shot in Louisiana.
But for over 1300 years before the French “Founded” New Orleans, Native Americans lived in thatched huts along Bayouk Choupique in a village called Bulbancha, later renamed Bayou St. Jean by the French and even later “Old Spanish Fort”. New Orleans was “officially founded” in 1718 by the French as Nouvelle-Orléans, under the direction of Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, but Bienville selected the site of an abandoned Quinipissa village for his "new city".
Like all of American history, it seems New Orleans history only began when Europeans “Found” or “Discovered” it. That seems more than a bit dismissive. So while organizations and the city pays tribute to the French, Spanish, American and even Creole history of the city, Zeitgeist will be celebrating 2018 with a year long series of INDIGENOUS FILMS, which celebrates and explores Indigenous, Native, First Nation and tribal peoples from throughout the world.
