ABOUT TCHOUPITOULAS

Tchoupitoulas is a story of the New Orleans night. It is a visually exhilirating and aurally immersive record of one night in the many lives of a thriving nocturnal populace. Three young boys act as our wide-eyed conduits to a parade of entertainers and revelers as they dance through the lamp-lit streets and doorways of the Crescent City. From dusk to dawn, viewers explore the lives and locales of one of the world’s most unique cities. In moments, vignettes, performances, and exchanges,Tchoupitoulas is a kaleidoscopic odyssey into another side of New Orleans. Described by The New York Times as “a heady hybrid of documentary and dream” the film 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.” (2012 | Not rated | 1 hour, 20 minutes)
