Zeitgeist CALENDAR
December 7 thru 9, 14 thru 16, 21 thru 23 @ 8:00 pm
A Tennessee Williams Xmas Spectacular!
Tennessee Williams Theatre Company Of New Orleans presents THE MUTILATED
Christmas is for cat fights—and this one’s a bona-fide Tennessee Williams musical comedy! Trinket and Celeste are at sixes and sevens with each other, but by the time the bells of St. Louis Cathedral toll twelve on Christmas Eve, will they reconcile, or will they end up in Touro Infirmary with battle wounds? Complete with warped Christmas carols from a chorus of Quarter rats, this is Tennessee Williams in his holiday best! This hilarious production will feature an original score by New Orleans based composer Michael Gillette!
_________
Mondays through Wednesday, December 10 thru 13 & 17 thru 20:
SWIMMING WITH MEN, A British comedy about a man suffering a mid-life crisis who finds new meaning in his life as part of an all-male, middle-aged, amateur synchronised swimming team starring Rob Brydon, Rupert Graves, Thomas Turgoose, Daniel Mays, Jim Carter, etc.
Mondays through Wednesday, December 10 thru 12 & 17 thru 20 @ 8:45 pm

POSTCARDS FROM LONDON, this deliciously queer morality tale about a beautiful Essex rent boy (British rising star Harris Dickinson, Beach Rats) manages to be both a beautifully shot homage in the spirit of Derek Jarman and a celebration of the homo-erotic in Baroque art
Opens January 4:
SICILIAN GHOST STORY, In a little Sicilian village at the edge of a forest, Giuseppe, a boy of 13, vanishes. Luna, his classmate who loves him, refuses to accept his mysterious disappearance.

Only their indestructible love will be able to bring her back along.
Opens January 4:
RYUICHI SAKAMOTO: async AT THE PARK AVENUE ARMORY, The film captures an intimate concert in New York City, where the legendary musician first publicly unveiled his new opus async hailed as one of the best albums of 2017 by esteemed publications such as Rolling Stone and Pitchfork. Zeitgeist screened the documentary RYUICHI SAKAMOTO: coda this year.
Opens January 4:
THE CHARMER, Esmail is a darkly handsome Iranian immigrant to Denmark, on the verge of being thrown out of the country if he can’t find a Danish woman to marry.

But he’s a man caught between his self-interest and self-respect.
Opens January 11:
THE ORGANIZER, a portrait of Wade Rathke (who will be here to present the film the opening weekend), the controversial founder of ACORN, and explores the much maligned and misunderstood occupation of community organizing. Before it's infamous demise following several highly publicized scandals, ACORN had been the largest community organization in the US.
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.
Opens March 8:
SMALLER AND SMALLER CIRCLES, Two Jesuit priests perform forensic work to solve the mystery revolving around the murders of young boys in Payatas, one of Metro Manilla's biggest slum areas. The pursuit of a brutal serial killer begins....
