THE WILD BOYS
Bertrand Mandico (Experimental feature from France)
September 14 through 20 @ 9:30 pm nightly
[TRAILER] [TICKETS]
THE WILD BOYS is a trippy take on William Burroughs novel of the same name where five 'Wild Boys' all played by actresses(!!!) take on a captain bent on taming their ferocious appetites for mischief in this subversive and playfully gender bending maritime adventure. At the beginning of the 20th century on the island of La Réunion, five adolescents of good family, enamored with the occult, commit a savage crime. A Dutch Captain takes them in charge for a repressive cruise on a haunted, dilapidated sailboat. Exhausted by the methods of the Captain, the five boys prepare to mutiny. Their port of call is a supernatural island with luxuriant vegetation and bewitching powers.

BEL CANTO
Paul Weitz (International Political Thriller)
Friday through Thursday, September 21 through 27 @ 7:30 pm nightly
[TRAILER] [TICKETS]
Based on Ann Patchett’s International best-selling novel in 32 different languages, BEL CANTO is a dramatic love story that follows a famous soprano (Julianne Moore) who travels to a military dictatorship in South America to give a private concert at a party for a wealthy Japanese industrialist (Ken Watanabe). Just as the glittering gathering of diplomats and politicians convenes, the mansion is taken over by a guerrilla rebel group demanding the release of their imprisoned comrades. Threats are made, lives are lost, a tense negotiation begins, and a month long standoff ensues. While they are confined to the house, the hostages and their captors, who speak different languages, are forced to find ways to communicate. Music, especially the beautiful arias performed by Moore’s character, a songbird in captivity, sparks a shared sense of comradeship and even love, uniting the disparate housemates as they form unexpected bonds, overcome their differences, and discover their shared humanity.

A theater director leads his two actors and his assistant to an isolated cottage in the open countryside in order to better rehearse for their theatrical performance of Heiner Müller's Hamlet-machine. Once on sight, the small troupe faces not only the dullness of daily routine, tensions and the usual hurdles of rehearsals, but eventually strange occurrences that turn out to be extraordinary and extreme in nature. Winner of 18 awards on the International Film Festival circuit.

CIELO
Alison McAlpine (Celestial documentary from Chile)
Friday through Thursday, September 28 through October 4 @ 7:30 pm nightly (except Saturday @ 9:30 pm)
[TRAILER] [TICKETS]
Set in Chile’s Atacama Desert, CIELO explores the sublime night sky, employing an elegant, unusual use of time-lapse photography to capture the movements of a breathtaking astronomical tableau. Filmmaker Alison McAlpine’s thoughtful narration and the ambient sounds of the desert are blended with otherworldly music and affecting moments of deep silence. The resulting meditation on the heavens is a mystical paean to the beauty of the sky and an inspiring vision of a universe that we both see and cannot see. The Atacama – with its high-altitude setting (between the Andes and Chilean Coast Mountains), aridity (the driest non-polar place in the world, receiving an average of only .6 inches of rain per year), and near-complete lack of cloud cover and light pollution – is an ideal place to appreciate the firmament. CIELO is a distinctively cinematic reverie on these night skies, as experienced by astronomers at the La Silla, Paranal, and Las Campanas observatories, as well as local farmers, cowboys, and miners.

THE THIRD MURDER by Hirokazu Kore-eda.
[TRAILER]
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!

Tennessee Williams Theatre Company Of New Orleans presents
Tennessee Williams' THE MUTILATED
Written in 1966 and labeled as part of a double-bill of one-act plays entitled Slapstick Tragedy, this later play by Tennessee Williams takes place in the New Orleans French Quarter on Christmas Eve 1948. On a night filled with carols, misfits, sailors, hookers, cops, Quarter rats, grifters, secrets, betrayals, and wine, Trinket Dugan is a Texas oil heiress and cancer survivor hiding away at the Silver Dollar Hotel. Celeste Delacroix Griffin is a hustler in every sense of the word who—by discovering a deep, dark secret of the heiress Dugan—jumpstarts the two on a humorous journey that will, in all hopes, resuscitate their friendship in just enough time to share a mystical experience that will change their lives. In doing so, it demonstrates how thin the line is between the dreadful and the joyful in a clever character rendering of humanity’s penchant for finding a laugh in tragic circumstances.
Opens January 18:
THE SAINT BERNARD CONNECTION, Subversive satirist Mads Brugger's latest is an odd-couple comedy about the pitfalls of striking out into the economic frontier; it charts two hapless Danes' scheme to sell Saint Bernards to China's middle class.

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.

ENTANGLEMENTS: An Immersive Exhibition of Video Art Works by HARLEIGH JADE
(created in both London & New Orleans) on view in the OCH Gallery through August. Free.
Entanglements is an immersive, audio-visual compilation of recent art works created by Harleigh Jade
Show Opening with Sound Installations (Video works will stay up through August)
Harleigh is an artist and student on track to complete a B.F.A. in Digital Art at Tulane University this upcoming Spring. She works mostly with the mediums of video and sound, utilizing layering and a spatial treatment of the digital towards her goals of creating immersive and affective experiences. The result is at once disturbing and then soothing, with humorous and cathartic undertones.
"My work is centered around bodies. When I use the term body I am not concerned merely with the physical flesh but am thinking through bodies as an assemblage of physicality, mind, and societal forces. I think through objects, sounds, technology, and the environment as bodies, with interest in the consciousness and entanglement of these entities. Heavily inspired by the tensions of the human form, my work will often suggest a bodily presence even when the human body is absent. It may imply themes of sex, though this is not definitive of the piece, but acts as a lens in which to explore ideas of discomfort, control, release, anxiety, and the erotic. “ HarleighJade.com
