City of a Million Dreams
Monday, August 10 @ 9:30pm
Jazz funerals are among the most recognized yet least understood traditions of New Orleans. Rooted in the legacy of "funerals with music," these rituals blend mourning and celebration, honoring the lives of the departed while affirming community continuity. CITY OF A MILLION DREAMS explores their cultural significance through the city's parading club culture, documented beginning in 2005 by writer and videographer Deb Cotton.
