Screen/Society--Nasher Southern Cinema Film Series--"Tchoupitoulas"

Film Screening: "Tchoupitoulas" (Bill Ross IV & Turner Ross, 2012, 80 min, USA, in English, Color, Blu-Ray) / "Tchoupitoulas" is a lyrical documentary that follows three adolescent brothers as they journey through one night in New Orleans, encountering a vibrant kaleidoscope of dancers, musicians, hustlers, and revelers parading through the lamplit streets. The filmmakers fully immerse us into the New Orleans night, passing through many lively and luminous locations and introducing us to the people who make the city their home. / "It is alive with the risk and curiosity of youth, and unapologetic in insisting that the pursuit of fun can be a profound and transformative experience." - A. O. Scott, New York Times / "The Rosses are happy to trade cohesion for a rich, varied immersion in New Orleans nightlife. It's less a documentary than a feature-length vibe." - Scott Tobias, AV Club / Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE82qSIcmI0
