QUEERCORE: HOW TO PUNK A REVOLUTION
presented by visiting filmmaker Tony Leyser (Queer punk doc)
Friday through Thursday, October 12 through 17 @ 7:00 pm nightly
Thursday, October 18 @ 9:00 pm
[TRAILER] [TICKETS]
In the landscape of radical ‘80s and ‘90s expressions of punk, from riot grrl to grunge, the term “queercore” (or “homocore”) doesn’t have the same cultural saturation. Director Yony Leyser’s documentary Queercore: How To Punk a Revolution seeks to inscribe the word onto the historical record as one of the major influences through its music, film and culture on the rebellious aims of those other movements. Starting with Canadian filmmaker, writer and provocateur Bruce La Bruce, Leyser traces the roots of queercore from its tiny Toronto inception, where “a ragtag group of queer revolutionaries,” rebelling against macho punks and the bourgeois gay scene, willed queercore into existence.
An award-winning documentary on the queer punk movement focusing on homophobia, gender, feminism, AIDS, assimilation, sex, and, of course, art. The extensive participant list includes Bruce LaBruce, G.B. Jones, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, John Waters, Justin Vivian Bond, Lynn Breedlove, Silas Howard, Pansy Division, Penny Arcade, Kathleen Hanna, Kim Gordon, Deke Elash, Tom Jennings, Team Dresch, and many more. Screens as part of our on-going series CANADA IS BIGGER THAN THE U.S.
Please Note: Visiting filmmaker Yony Leyser will be here Saturday & Sunday for a Q & A after the film. Plus, DJ Bashert will spin queercore music before and after the film on Wednesday!

THE THIRD MURDER
Hirokazu Kore-eda (Japanese mystery)
Tuesday through Wednesday, October 9 through 17 @ 9:15 pm nightly
[TRAILER] [TICKETS]
Leading attorney Shigemori takes on the defence of murder-robbery suspect Misumi who served jail time for another murder 30 years ago. Shigemori's chances of winning the case seem low - his client freely admits his guilt, despite facing the death penalty if he is convicted. As he digs deeper into the case, as he hears the testimonies of the victim's family and Misumi himself, the once confident Shigemori begins to doubt whether his client is the murderer after all. From internationally-acclaimed director Hirokazu Kore-eda (Maborosi; After Life; Still Walking; Nobody Knows, I Wish and After The Storm, which all screened at Zeitgeist over the years). He is simply one of my favorite living directors. His newest film Shoplifters won the recent Palme D'or at Cannes. The Third Murder is the Winner of 6 Japanese Academy Awards!

THE STORY OF NEW ORLEANS CREOLE COOKING: THE BLACK HAND IN THE POT
a student produced documentary followed by a panel discussion
presented by the Dillard University Ray Charles Program. Free.
The Story of New Orleans Creole Cooking: The Black Hand in the Pot is a full-length documentary that unveils the untold stories of black chefs, cooks, street food vendors, grocers, and butchers in New Orleans from 1718 to the present. The film was made as a student project, and it was partially funded with a grant from the Louisiana Endowment for Humanities. Students involved in the making of the film paired their core curriculum academic studies with newfound knowledge from the Ray Charles Program in African American Material Culture. The result was a comprehensive deep dive into the history of New Orleans food as well as the impact that culture had on the rest of the city and the country as a whole. The documentary highlights the trials and triumphs of being black while working, cooking, and eating in the culinary capital of the United States throughout the centuries. It chronicles a wide range of subjects, from Nellie Murray, the most sought-after Créole de couleur caterer in New Orleans for many premier society balls and parties in the 1890s, to the legendary Leah Chase, chef and co-owner of Dooky Chase’s Restaurant.

GAVAGAI
Rob Tregenza (Norwegian drama)
[TRAILER] [TICKETS]
In this innovative and moving project, Director Rob Tregenza (Talking to Strangers) and screenwriter Kirk Kjeldsen have adapted the poetry of the Norwegian writer Tarjei Vesaas (1897-1970) to the screen. Andreas Lust (Revanche) plays Carsten Neuer, a grieving husband whose wife had been translating Vesaas’ poems into Chinese before her death. Neuer travels to Telemark, Vesaas’ home turf, partly in the hopes of finding a fitting resting place, and partly in an attempt to come to terms with his grief. Immense care has been taken to set up a field of resonances between this storyline, Vesaas’ writing, and the Norwegian landscapes invoked by the poems and shot on location in splendid 35mm. Counterpoints between Vesaas’ words and Neuer’s situation invoke the core problems involved in all sorts of translations. (The title, “Gavagai,” was the philosopher Willard van Orman Quine’s famous term for a word in an imaginary language that, perhaps like life itself, can be interpreted in multiple ways.) This film does not feel like an intellectual game, but rather a slow-burning odyssey in the face of death. Through its subtle treatment of the twists and turns of individual loss, Gavagai stands as both a remarkable homage to an important figure in Scandinavian literature and a humor-tinged journey into the underworld of grief.

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.

There are several great lunch or dinner options just within a block or two from the theatre on Oretha Castle Haley Blvd.
Across the street are Cafe Reconcile and Casa Borrega. One block to our left is Cafe Roma followed by the outdoor food court Roux Carre (featuring Trinidadian soul food from Queen Trini, Honduran cuisine from Alma, homemade deserts from KD NOLA and fusion cuisine from LOCAL MENU NOLA plus drinks from the Roux Bar) and to our right there is Toup South at the Southern Food and Beverage Museum.
