SUMMARY:Free Screening: City of a Million Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, November 20\, in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts for a screening of the acclaimed documentary City of a Million Dreams. The film\, based on the book of the same name by Jason Berry\, explores New Orleans’s jazz funerals and second lines. \nFollowing the film screening\, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from the filmmakers and ask questions during a panel discussion. \nFree with museum admission. \nGet Tickets Now \n\nAbout the Film\nFamous the world over\, jazz funerals have origins shrouded in mystery. Filmed over twenty-two years\, City of a Million Dreams explores race relations at a tearing time in American society. Burial traditions train a lens on the unique and resilient culture of New Orleans. City of a Million Dreams draws from the 2018 book of the same title by Jason Berry. \nDeb Cotton\, an African American and observant Jew\, leaves “hard-hearted Hollywood” for New Orleans\, and becomes a chronicler of the parading clubs spawned by 19th century burial societies. Her zeal for the city grows as she becomes a blogger for Gambit Weekly\, adopting the handle “Big Red Cotton.” As Deb explores her adopted culture\, Dr. Michael White\, a prolific clarinetist and New Orleans native\, plays “the widow’s wail” on his clarinet\, a cry of lamentation in the funeral marches. \nWhite’s transcendent music also includes joyous peals for the soul’s cutting-loose\, which happens when the band leaves the cemetery\, followed by dancers in what New Orleanians call “the second line.” Risen in the ranks of brass bands\, White\, too\, is on a journey of self-discovery\, seeking clues about his ancestor who played at the dawn of jazz. White says of jazz funerals: “For someone dealing with American racism and trying to figure out your place in this life…you can be transformed into another world that really sets you free.” \nLearn More \n\n                           \nEducation and outreach initiatives at NOMA are supported in part by The Gayle and Tom Benson Foundation; the Lois and Lloyd Hawkins Jr. Foundation; The Helis Foundation; The City of New Orleans; First Horizon; Janice Parmelee and Bill Hammack; Sara and David Kelso; Patrick F.

SUMMARY:Day With(out) Art 2021: Enduring Care
DESCRIPTION:The New Orleans Museum of Art is proud to partner with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2021 by presenting ENDURING CARE\, a video program highlighting strategies of community care within the ongoing HIV epidemic. The program features newly commissioned work by Katherine Cheairs\, Cristóbal Guerra\, Danny Kilbride\, Abdul-Aliy A. Muhammad and Uriah Bussey\, Beto Pérez\, Steed Taylor\, and J Triangular and the Women’s Video Support Project. \nFrom histories of harm reduction and prison activism to the long-term effects of HIV medication\, ENDURING CARE centers stories of collective care\, mutual aid\, and solidarity while pointing to the negligence of governments and nonprofits. The program’s title suggests a dual meaning\, honoring the perseverance and commitment of care workers yet also addressing the potential for harm from medications and healthcare providers. ENDURING CARE disrupts the assumption that an epidemic can be solved with pharmaceuticals alone\, recasting community work as a lasting form of medicine. \nDrop by NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts anytime between 10 am and 5 pm on Wednesday\, December 1\, to view the video program. This program is included with museum admission\, and on Wednesdays\, Louisiana residents receive free admission\, courtesy of The Helis Foundation. \nReserve Tickets \n\nDive into the following discussion guide to further investigate the topics\, themes\, and ideas explored in ENDURING CARE. \nDownload \n\nAbout the Films\nKatherine Cheairs\, Voices at the Gate\nVoices at the Gate juxtaposes the bucolic landscapes inhabited by women’s prisons with archival and contemporary audio recordings of poems\, essays\, and interviews produced by women of color in the early 19990s at the intersection of incarceration and HIV & AIDS activism. \nKatherine “Kat” Cheairs is a filmmaker\, educator\, curator\, activist and community artist.

SUMMARY:Fragmented Landscapes Film Series
DESCRIPTION:On four select Saturdays at 2 pm throughout the run of Inventing Acadia: Painting and Place in Louisiana\, NOMA will screen a series of films curated by Maaike Gouwenberg of Deltaworkers collectively titled Fragmented Landscapes/Beyond Acadia. \nDecember 7 |  New Ideas about Landscape \nDecember 14 | A Country That is Not of This World  \nJanuary 11 | Stories and Place  \nJanuary 18 | The Louisiana Landscape (Read more about the selected films) \nIn a rapidly changing Louisiana\, the natural landscape becomes part of daily life. The fluidity of the marshlands that grow from sediment brought by the Mississippi from the north\, and the human interactions that change the course of that natural process\, are a constant reminder of our presence in—and impact upon—the area. Fragmented Landscapes/Beyond Acadia presents films that focus on landscapes—films that present the landscape as a way to communicate ideas about representation\, where the medium of film is the key to examining the landscape in relation to political histories. The films presented in Fragmented Landscapes/Beyond Acadia are linked to human interference\, painful pasts\, and the rule of law. \nABOUT MAAIKE GOUWENBERG\nMaaike Gouwenberg is a curator and producer working between Europe and the US. Since 2017 she is affiliated with Performa\, co-director of Deltaworkers international residency program in New Orleans\, and she is part of the mid-length committee at International Film Festival Rotterdam. After running multidisciplinary exhibition space Expodium in Utrecht\, Gouwenberg participated in the De Appel Curatorial Program (2006-2007) and worked at If I Can’t Dance\, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution (2007 – 2011). She produced major projects at Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam including Alexandre Singh’s “The Humans”\, Michael Portnoy’s “Relational Stalinism – The Musical\,” and “The Ten Murders of Josephine” with Rana Hamadeh. In 2010\, Gouwenberg initiated A.P.E. (art projects era) with artist Keren Cytter and curator Kathy Noble. \nFilm still from The Brother by Léa Triboulet

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Conversation: World AIDS Day
DESCRIPTION:The New Orleans Museum of Art is proud to partner with Visual AIDS for the thirtieth annual Day With(out) Art by presenting STILL BEGINNING\, a program of seven newly commissioned videos responding to the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic by Shanti Avirgan\, Nguyen Tan Hoang\, Carl George\, Viva Ruiz\, Iman Shervington\, Jack Waters/Victor F.M. Torres\, and Derrick Woods-Morrow. The program is included with museum admission; free to NOMA Members. \nThe seven short videos range in subject from anti-stigma work in New Orleans to public sex culture in Chicago\, highlighting pioneering AIDS activism and staging intergenerational conversations. Recalling artist Gregg Bordowitz’s reminder that “The AIDS crisis is still beginning\,”* the video program resists narratives of resolution or conclusion\, considering the continued urgency of HIV/AIDS in the contemporary moment while revisiting resonant cultural histories from the past three decades. (*The phrase first appeared in Bordowitz’s installation Drive (2002) and was recently displayed as a banner at the Art Institute of Chicago.)  \nA panel discussion moderated by Jennifer Williams\, NOMA’s Public Programs Manager\, will follow the screening featuring Sian Green and Angie Brown\, members of the Institute of Women and Ethnic Studies\, a national non-profit health organization based in New Orleans. Green and Brown are both featured in the video I’m Still Me by Iman Shervington. \nABOUT VISUAL AIDS\nVisual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue\, supporting HIV+ artists\, and preserving a legacy\, because AIDS is not over. In 1989\, Visual AIDS organized the first Day Without Art\, a call to the art world for mourning and action in response to the AIDS crisis. For Day With(out) Art’s thirtieth year\, over 100 institutions worldwide will screen STILL BEGINNING\, recognizing the important and necessary work of artists\, activists\, and cultural workers who have responded to AIDS while emphasizing the persistent presence of the epidemic.  \nIn 1989\, Visual AIDS organized the first Day Without Art\, a call to the art world for mourning and action in response to the AIDS crisis. Every year since\, Visual AIDS has coordinated and publicized events at museums\, universities\, and arts organizations to highlight the ongoing urgency of the epidemic. \nFeatured Videos\nShanti Avirgan\, Beat Goes On \nBeat Goes On is an all-archival video portrait of Keith Cylar (1958–2004)\, the co-founder of Housing Works and a central figure in the AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power (ACT UP) NY. \nCarl George\, The Lie \nThe Lie is the latest in an ongoing series of short films drawing on found footage and original materials from the artist’s archive. Offering “ruminations on ruined nations\,” the film aims to expose the links between war\, poverty\, AIDS and capitalism\, and discredit the persistent mythologies that bind them all. \nNguyen Tan Hoang\, I Remember Dancing \nI Remember Dancing brings together an intergenerational cast of trans and queer “gaysians” ruminating on the past and future of AIDS\, activism\, gay culture\, love\, and (un)safe sex. \nViva Ruiz\, Chloe Dzubilo: There is a Transolution \nViva Ruiz invites transgender AIDS activist\, artist\, and beloved friend Chloe Dzubilo (1960-2011) to speak via never before seen Hi-8 footage filmed by Chloe’s then-partner Kelly McGowan. \nIman Shervington\, I’m Still Me \nI’m Still Me highlights Sian\, a Black woman living with HIV in Louisiana\, who works in partnership with the Institute of Women & Ethnic Studies to address the disproportionate effect of HIV on Black women in the South. \nJack Waters/Victor F.M. Torres\, (eye\, virus) \nThrough an experimental collage of video and pictographs\, (eye\, virus) explores how conversations around disclosure\, stigma\, and harm reduction shift across generations and from public to private realms. Collaboratively produced with Victor F.M. Torres and Nikki Sweet. \nDerrick Woods-Morrow\, Much handled things are always soft \nDerrick Woods-Morrow will document the geography of the public sex culture of Black Chicago from the 1960s through the 1980s\, in conversation with photographer and longterm survivor Patric McCoy.

The film follows the students from their auditions on through senior year with the hard knocks and victories of lives dedicated to their craft. Fame garnered awards and nominations in a variety of categories\, with particular praise for its title song performed by Irene Cara. It received four Golden Globe Award nominations\, including Best Motion Picture\, Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy (Cara)\, and Best Original Score (Michael Gore). The film only won one award for Best Original Song (“Fame”). Fame was the last musical film to be produced by MGM\, before the studio merged with United Artists in 1981. The film has been credited with revitalizing the teen musical subgenre by adding dramatic elements into its story\, echoing 1950s melodramas. Its presentation of musical numbers in the style of a music video was a major influence on other 1980s films in the dance film genre

SUMMARY:Artist's Choice Film Series: La Jetée
DESCRIPTION:Bodies of Knowledge brings together ten international contemporary artists to reflect on the role that language plays in archiving and asserting our cultural identities. In conjunction with this exhibition\, NOMA will be screening movies selected by these artists that reflect their inspirations\, interests\, and ideals. \nArtist’s Choice Film Series \n\nSaturday\, June 29\, 2 pm | Adriana Corral selects The Constant Gardener (2005 | Rated R | 2 hours\, 8 minutes)\nSaturday\, August 17\, 2 pm  | Manon Bellet selects La Jetée (1962 | Not rated | 28 minutes)\nSaturday\, August 24\, 3 pm  | Garrett Bradley selects Sidewalk Stories (1989 | Rated R | 1 hour\, 37 minutes)\nSaturday\, September 14\, 2 pm | Mahmoud Chouki selects Whatever Lola Wants (2007 | Not rated | 1 hour\, 55 minutes)\nSaturday\, October 5\,  5 pm | Edward Spots selects Fame (1980 | Rated R |  2 hours\, 14 minutes)\n\nABOUT LA JETÉE\nLa Jetée  is a 1962 French Left Bank\, black-and-white science-fiction featurette by Chris Marker. Constructed almost entirely from still photos\, it tells the story of a post-nuclear war experiment in time travel. \nA man (Davos Hanich) is a prisoner in the aftermath of World War III in post-apocalyptic Paris\, where survivors live underground in the Palais de Chaillot galleries. Scientists research time travel hoping to send test subjects to different time periods “to call past and future to the rescue of the present”. They have difficulty finding subjects who can mentally withstand the shock of time travel. The scientists eventually settle upon the prisoner; his key to the past is a vague but obsessive memory from his pre-war childhood of a woman he had seen on the observation platform (“the jetty”) at Orly Airport shortly before witnessing a startling incident there. He did not understand exactly what happened\, but knew he had seen a man die. \nAfter several attempts\, he reaches the pre-war period. He meets the woman from his memory\, and they develop a romantic relationship. After his successful passages to the past\, the experimenters attempt to send him into the far future. In a brief meeting with the technologically advanced people of the future\, he is given a power unit sufficient to regenerate his own destroyed society\, but the movie takes an unexpected turn that prevents this rebuilding of the future.

Armed only with white T-shirts and the courage of their convictions\, they demanded a resolution to the country’s civil war. Their actions were a critical element in bringing about a agreement during the stalled peace talks. \nA story of sacrifice\, unity and transcendence\, Pray the Devil Back to Hell honors the strength and perseverance of the women of Liberia. Inspiring\, uplifting\, and most of all motivating\, it is a compelling testimony of how grassroots activism can alter the history of nations.

SUMMARY:French Connections Film Series: The Death of Louis XIV
DESCRIPTION:Travel through time to 18th-century France with films exploring life among the aristocracy. This series\, presented in conjunction with the exhibition The Orleans Collection\, takes place Saturday afternoons in November and December. \n\nSaturday\, November 3\, 2 pm: A Little Chaos (Rated R\, 2015)\nSaturday\, November 17\, 2 pm: The Death of Louis XIV (La mort de Louis XIV) (Not rated\, 2017)\nSaturday\, November 24\, 2 pm: The Royal Exchange ((L’Echange des Princesses) (Not rated\, 2017)\nSaturday\, December 1\, 2 pm: Dangerous Liaisons (Rated R\, 1988)\n\nABOUT THE DEATH OF LOUIS XIV (LA MORT DE LOUIS XIV)\nUpon returning from a hunting expedition in August 1715\, King Louis XIV feels a pain in his leg. The film traces the king’s last days at Versailles\, where\, surrounded by loyal followers in his royal chambers\, he succumbs to death. French with English subtitles. (Not rated\, 2016; 1 hour\, 55 minutes) \nIn a review for The Guardian\, Peter Bradshaw writes: “In what seems like real time\, the film takes its audience through a historical event\, the death of Louis XIV\, placing us by the royal deathbed in the days and hours before he died in 1715 of a blood clot. Frowningly solicitous courtiers come and go. Murmuring physicians suppress their obvious terror of being blamed. Ladies-in-waiting simperingly attempt to keep His Majesty’s spirits up and greet his pathetic attempts at gallantry and good humour the way they might an infant doing his toilet training. And the king slowly dies … Movingly\, and often terrifyingly\, Jean-Pierre Léaud gives a superb approximation of what the slow approach of mortality looks like: the retreat into fatigue\, into a strange combination of fear and calm\, into mysterious stillness. The gradual leaking of life looks like the disappearance of moisture from wet sand in the sun. I can’t think of any actor who has over the space of a feature film given such a brilliant portrayal of the protracted moment of death.” \nWatch the trailer: \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:West African Cinema Series: Sembene!

A Hell. A Dream Deferred. \n\nSaturday\, September 29\, 2 pm: Sembene!

In a career spanning forty years\, Sembene (1923–2007) tasted the highs and the lows\, only to re-invent himself with a powerful blend of documentary\, French New Wave\, and Realism\, creating films that shocked the sociopolitical power structures of the day. Classics like Xala\, Black Girl\, and Moolaade established his cinematic vision and made him an international emissary who presented the inner lives of his people on film. Told by those who knew him best and with fascinating archival interviews\, Sembene! constructs a revealing portrait of a curious\, cantankerous\, and deeply intellectual artist. (Senegal | Not rated | 2015 | 1 hour\, 29 minutes) \nWatch the trailer:
