#88. Tchoupitoulas
Director/Producers: Ross Brothers
Distributor: Rights Available
The Gist: Three young brothers take a secret sunset journey across a river to a pleasure island that’s always been forbidden to them. As such, the narrative conceit of Tchoupitoulas is as timeless as a fairy tale. But through the eyes of our juvenile protagonists, we experience an impressionistic immersion into this beguiling kaleidoscope of dancers, musicians, hustlers, drag queens, and revelers that parade through the lamp-lit streets between Rampart and the river...(more)
List Worthy Reasons…: I’ll re-iterate what I mentioned before, Bill & Turner Ross’ magical docu 45365 brought much deserved acclaim to the pair. Hopefully this will see a progression of their docu style.
Release Date/Status?: The SXSW folks are certainly hoping that they’ll get to showcase the pic, so we’re hopeful for a 2012 film fest premiere.
