SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

Working it

Kevin Hart

Hannibal Buress performs at Saenger Theatre

THU. OCT. 18 | Comedian Kevin Hart has typically steered clear of politics, but he got in a couple of jabs at President Donald Trump and the White House at MTV’s Music Video Awards in August.

Following the release of his bestselling autobiography last year, he brings his “Irresponsible” tour to Smoothie King Center at 7 p.m.

BY ALEX WOODWARD @ALEXWOODWARD IN A NEW ORLEANS-SHOT PILOT FOR A SHOW CALLED “UNEMPLOYABLE,”

Hannibal Buress demonstrated how he is exactly that. He milked goats, told fortunes in Jackson Square and worked the line at Camellia Grill in Riverbend. After a streak of hit stand-up comedy specials, he was confident it would be picked up by Comedy Central, and a friend convinced him it would. (It was not.)

“I went online and said, ‘Thank you Comedy Central for picking up my pilot.’ I tweeted that,” he says.

“That’s the one thing that’s great about Twitter. You can just make your own news sometimes … News outlets started picking it up. It wasn’t a crazy possibility. People took it as true. I was thinking, ‘OK, they’ll probably just pick it up and be kind of begrudgingly excited.’ But they didn’t appreciate it that much. … That situation might have set a terrible precedent for them, if they showed themselves to be able to be manipulated by a tweet.”

After several hour-long stand-up specials, the comedian and actor starred in “Red,” “The Disaster Artist” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” among several Hollywood and TV roles, including his recurring role on Comedy Central hit “Broad City” and his Ed McMahon to Eric Andre’s angel-dusted Johnny Carson on Adult Swim’s “The Eric Andre Show.”

With his signature syntax and sleepy inflection that revs into bursts of energy, Buress delivers absurd observations and offers a glimpse into how his brain works: “traveling, shit I see, traveling, rap music,” he says.

He returns to New Orleans Oct. 20 to perform at the Saenger Theatre.

Buress made his first trip in New Orleans in 2012 to perform while in town for his cousin’s bachelor party (to “make some money for these strippers,” he told Gambit in 2012).

But the trip inspired a six-year-old love affair with the city, where he’d return for film shoots, sold-out

TUE. OCT. 16 | On her first album since 2014’s “Sheezus,” Lily Allen’s 2018 album “No Shame” is a reintroduction to the pop artist following heartbreak, grief and an identity crisis that detached her from her previous work. The result is a sparse, skin-shedding electronic pop confessional buoyed by U.K. grime and dancehall influences.

At 8 p.m. at House of Blues.

“Les Lions de la Reconstruction” FRI.-SUN. OCT. 19-21 | OperaCreole presents an original work about 19th-century free people of color such as newspaper founder Louis Charles Roudanez, Sister Chloe Preval and composer Edmond Dede, who stood for equality. The operatic work features accompaniment on strings and piano. At 7 p.m. at Marigny Opera House. performances at larger venues and drop-ins at smaller weekly gigs with local comics.

Those visits also inspired several stories in his stand-up, from hiring a brass band (“For $300 you can have your own parade on a day’s notice ...

New Orleans Police has a parades department. There’s homicides, there’s narcotics, there’s parades”) to seeing a rat in a restaurant’s bathroom (“I think rats are dudes. That’s a dude trait, to be a rat. All rats are dudes.”)

“I’m so glad I don’t live there because all I’d do is drink, gamble and throw parades for myself all the time,” he joked on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” in 2014. “‘Is that Hannibal right there?’ It’s 6:30 on a Monday, that’s Hannibal time.”

But after his last performance in New Orleans, on New Year’s Eve at the Civic Theatre, Buress decided to quit drinking, “which was a big part of my relationship with New Orleans, and a lot of peoples’ relationship with the city — drinking and being able to drink outside,” he says. “It’s a great place, it’s a lot of fun, but a lot of that was charged by getting f—ed up.”

Buress says he gave up alcohol after reflecting on “situations I’ve been in, how I’ve affected people, my actions — it’s cost me money. Not just the drinks but the missed flights, bullshit happening from it. It was a

health thing and a challenge to say, ‘Lemme just see what it’s like if I cut this out completely.’ ” “From a health aspect, and comedically, it gives me a different angle to talk about, too,” he says. “I’ve had those stories: ‘I was drunk and this happened,’ ‘I was drinking and then I said this,’ ‘So I’m faded and then I did that’ — I’ve had versions of those stories for years, man.”

For now he’s sticking with ginger beer.

“If I do walk into a bar, there’s still that urge to get something immediately, right away,” he says. “I’m not gonna be in here with an empty hand like an asshole. … If you’re talking to somebody, you can’t just talk the whole time. What are you supposed to do in the pauses, when they drink their shit? You’re just gonna stare at them? You gotta drink something too.”

CITY PLANNING COMMISSION ASKS FOR MORE TIME TO DEAL WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING RECOMMENDATIONS

The NFL Network’s Maurice Jones-Drew and other analysts disparaged New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees after the future Hall of Famer broke the league career passing yardage record, saying it was a “record breaking play, but not a ‘wow’ type of play.” They also claimed Brees did “nothing spectacular.” By contrast, former President Barack Obama summed up Saints fans’ feelings when he congratulated No. 9 in a tweet and added, “Always a class act.” The NFL Network could learn a lot about class from Brees.

City planners are asking for more time to determine how New Orleans can best address its affordable housing crisis by requiring affordable units in new developments. In its request for a deadline extension, city planners agreed the city is “in the midst of a housing crisis, which is worsening as affordable housing development fails to keep up with needs.”

On Oct. 9, the New Orleans City Planning Commission (CPC) voted to support the staff’s request — but commissioners were concerned they’ll be rushing to understand a complex issue while up against a clock, which could prevent them from lending their support for affordability requirements. Commissioner Walter Isaacson said he’d be “disinclined” to vote for any inclusionary zoning recommendations “without us understanding whether this is the best way to get people into better housing.”

Earlier this year, Gov. John Bel Edwards vetoed legislation that would prevent municipalities from setting those kinds of rules, but Edwards said he’s likely to support a similar measure next year if New Orleans didn’t pass an inclusionary zoning policy. The New Orleans City Council didn’t draft any policies based on an earlier CPC staff report, echoed in the staff’s latest preliminary findings. But the policies have the support of Mayor LaToya Cantrell and current council members.

In August, the City Council tasked the CPC staff to return to the issue by studying a “smart housing mix” program. One option would create a zoning overlay that requires 12 percent of units in developments with 10 or more units be set at below-market rates. Another would create an inclusionary zoning “base” that could cover not just entire districts but individual parcels, including areas in more “desirable” neighborhoods where gentrification and high prices have displaced longtime residents previously paying affordable rates.

At a press conference that month, Cantrell’s Chief of Staff John Pourciau told reporters the city needs “every single option available to make sure we’re doing everything we can to make the city more livable and affordable for all our folks.” Pourciau added the administration wants to ensure “we’re not just creating affordable housing opportunities, we’re also connecting people” to transportation,

teacher at Morris Jeff Community School, was chosen by the National Association for Music Education to draft a curriculum of music education with materials from the Library of Congress.

Kennedy will visit Washington D.C. this month to meet with librarians and spend the next year crafting the curriculum with several other educators from around the country.

employment areas and neighborhoods — saying the CBD’s density, lack of affordable units and connectivity to transit hubs and hospitality jobs could be better served with affordability requirements.

The CPC staff is expected to present its smart housing mix study to the CPC Nov. 13. The report then will head to the City Council, which then must meet a 90-day deadline to submit zoning ordinances to the CPC for approval.

NOLA to Angola this week Sixty people will ride bikes to Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola this week, making the annual trek to benefit a program that keeps families and communities connected after a family member is incarcerated. NOLA to Angola (www.nolatoangola.org) riders take off at 8 a.m. Oct. 19 from Tulane Avenue and South Broad Street, part of a fundraising campaign for Cornerstone Builders’ bus program, which transports Orleans and Jefferson Parish residents to incarcerated family members inside five state prisons at no cost.

The three-day bike ride offers riders a chance to “really internalize the distance” not only separating families and their loved ones at Angola but also to understand how far removed incarcerated people are from the communities they left, and how the criminal justice system impacts low-income people of color and their families, says NOLA to Angola organizer Katie Hunter-Lowrey.

“If someone in Louisiana gets a life sentence, that doesn’t mean they suddenly don’t have parents and siblings and friends and children,” Hunter-Lowrey told Gambit. “It’s important for families to maintain that link even if they don’t come home.”

Cornerstone Director Leo Jackson organized the first ride in 2007. It makes monthly trips on charter buses, with additional trips leading up to November and December holidays; NOLA to Angola riders’ “sponsorships” defray the cost of each trip.

Last year the group raised $50,000, enough to cover roughly 50 rides. Cornerstone now operates a bus program in Shreveport and is planning to open a hub in Lafayette.

“We as a state and a country are finally starting to realize the road bumps to re-entry — you can’t just release someone and say, ‘Here’s a dollar for a bus ticket and the clothes you came in with,’ ” Hunter-Lowrey says.

“In addition to having a place to stay … and work afterwards, having a group of people who you stayed in contact with, and seen and hugged, creates a pretty obvious support structure when someone gets out. … We are all sharing the city streets. People should be supported when they get out and come home.”

Developers seek hundreds of STRs in Canal Street high rises A day after the City Planning Commission (CPC) sent recommendations for short-term rental (STR) rules to the City Council, developers and several council members argued that commercial STRs on Canal Street could be used to attract more business downtown.

Peter Bowen of Sonder, which operates more than 200 STRs in New Orleans, is leading a “coordinated and strategic effort to revitalize several properties on Canal street” at three addresses — 1016, 623 and 444 Canal Street — for use as yearround commercial rentals, he told the City Council Oct. 4.

The CPC staff’s latest report recommends capping the number of commercial STRs in a building to up to 25 percent of the building, or one unit, whichever is greater.

Exceptions would be made for parts of Canal Street in an effort to spur redevelopment efforts, particularly on vacant upper levels.

Those recommendations have not yet been approved by the City Council; the CPC voted to send the report to the council on Oct. 3.

Bowen opposes that cap, saying it would “eliminate Sonder’s ability to partner with local developers” outside the Canal corridor.

The four-story building at 1016 Canal St. was damaged by fire in 2016; 623 Canal St., formerly Vitascope Hall, now is a liquor store and souvenir shop; 444 Canal St. is a convenience store. All are owned by Quarter Holdings LLC and operated

by Aaron and Mike Motwani.

Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters were joined on stage by Troy Andrews, aka Trombone Shorty at the 2014 Voodoo Music + Arts Experience.

Sonder has agreed to a 10-year lease of the spaces to operate 200 STRs on their upper floors.

Sonder and city officials are expected to break ground at 1016 Canal this week.

Council President Jason Williams says the development will help attract companies like Apple, Crate & Barrel, local restaurants and higher-end retail to Canal.

The Fillmore theater sets opening dates The Foo Fighters will open the new Fillmore New Orleans theater inside Harrah’s New Orleans with two shows in February. Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue will perform with them Feb. 15, while the Preservation Hall Jazz Band will join the Fighters Feb. 16. Tickets start at $249.50 and went on sale last week; VIP packages also are available.

Harrah’s and partner Live Nation announced the construction of the theater in June. The 22,000-squarefoot venue will accommodate 2,000 guests.

The Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl has a recent history with New Orleans musical artists, having recorded and performed at Preservation Hall. In September, he joined Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue in a cover of Nirvana’s “In Bloom” at Shorty’s Voodoo Threauxdown in Los Angeles.

On Amendment 2, go with the money THERE’S WIDESPREAD EVIDENCE to support

the proposition that money determines the outcome of an election, but that notion could be turned on its head when Louisiana voters decide whether to repeal the state’s outlier law allowing nonunanimous jury verdicts in felony cases.

A proposed constitutional amendment to require unanimous jury verdicts in felony trials is on the Nov. 6 ballot. Many consider it the most important question to be decided that day.

The only statewide contest on the ballot — other than six proposed constitutional amendments and a parish-by-parish referendum to allow online fantasy sports wagering — is the special election for secretary of state, and that one’s been a yawner so far.

The nonunanimous jury proposition appears on the ballot as Amendment No. 2. It needed two-thirds approval of the state Legislature, which is a tall order for anything in the Capitol’s hyper-partisan environment these days. That a measure clearly identified as “criminal justice reform” was able to garner overwhelming — and bipartisan — support in both the state House and Senate was truly remarkable.

Equally impressive is the diverse coalition that has lined up behind Amendment 2. It includes staunch conservatives like brothers Charles and David Koch (and their influential Americans for Prosperity group), Grover Norquist (and his anti-tax group Americans for Tax Reform) and the Louisiana Family Forum, led by the Rev. Gene Mills — and an equally prominent array of liberals, along with business and civic leaders. Louisiana’s Republican and Democratic parties are supporting it as well.

What’s really impressive is the money pouring into the state in support of the proposition. John Kay, Louisiana director for Americans for Prosperity, says the Koch brothers’ organization plans to spend more than $100,000 to promote the initiative.

That’s not unusual; conservative

groups often pump big dollars into favored campaigns. What sets the “Yes on Two” movement apart is the amount of money raining down from liberal groups. According to recent campaign finance reports, more than $1 million will come from three such groups. The Open Society Foundations, founded by billionaire George Soros, is ponying up $420,000; FWD.us, a lobbying outfit whose founders include Microsoft’s Bill Gates and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, has given $300,000; and the Advocacy Fund, a California-based liberal advocacy group, put up more than $300,000 in direct and in-kind donations.

All told, supporters will spend at least $1.5 million trying to change Louisiana’s split-jury rule, but that doesn’t mean passage is likely.

While no organized opposition has surfaced, Louisiana’s grandstander-in-chief, Attorney General Jeff Landry, has voiced opposition to changing the law.

Landry offers no evidence to support his position, but he could derail the amendment nonetheless if he campaigns against it. Anything dealing with crime triggers an emotional response from voters, most of whom are unaware that Louisiana is one of only two states that jail people after nonunanimous verdicts. Even fewer appear to know that the rule was put in place expressly to deny black citizens equal access to justice.

Hopefully, bipartisan political and financial support will trump selfish ambition and demagoguery.

A lot more than money is riding on this one.

important propositions that voters across Louisiana must decide. The propositions include six proposed constitutional amendments and a parish-by-parish vote to authorize fantasy sports betting. Here are our recommendations.

Amendment 1 To bar felons from public office: YES

Amendment 1 would prohibit nonpardoned felons from holding or seeking elective or appointive office for five years after completing their sentences. Voters in 1998 approved a constitutional amendment to prevent convicted, nonpardoned felons from seeking and holding public office for 15 years after they had completed a sentence. The Louisiana Supreme Court in 2016 voided that amendment on a technicality. This amendment corrects the technical glitch and imposes a five-year waiting period. We recommend voting YES on Amendment 1.

Amendment 2 Unanimous jury verdicts: YES

Amendment 2 would require unanimous jury verdicts in all felony cases.

According to the nonpartisan Public Affairs Research Council (PAR), Amendment 2 “addresses an issue of historic proportions in that the current nonunanimous jury law is rooted in 19th-century cultural settings and sets the state apart from the rest of the nation.” Louisiana is one of only two states that imprison people for long periods without a unanimous jury verdict — and our law traces its roots directly to Jim Crow-era practices of denying black citizens equal access to justice. In addition, convictions based on nonunanimous jury verdicts offend the notion of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, which America long ago established as the basis for criminal convictions.

Amendment 2 passed the Legislature overwhelmingly and with true bipartisan support. Liberals and conservatives, the state Democratic and Republican parties, along with many respected business, civic and religious leaders all support Amendment 2. We likewise urge our readers to vote YES on Amendment 2.

Amendment 3 Donations among local governments: YES

Amendment 3 would allow local governments or other political subdivisions to donate equipment and personnel to each other under limited

circumstances. Such donations between local governments (not the state) provide for great efficiency, according to PAR. For example, it would allow a fire district to borrow a bulldozer from a city, thereby saving the cost of buying a bulldozer. The constitution rightly prohibits donations of public property to private citizens or entities. We recommend voting YES on Amendment 3.

Amendment 4 Protect Transportation Trust Fund: YES

Amendment 4 would protect Louisiana’s Transportation Trust Fund from future “raids” by the governor and lawmakers by expressly prohibiting them from using trust fund money to fund “State Police for traffic control purposes.”

While we support all efforts to appropriately fund the State Police, money in the trust fund should finance Louisiana’s many needed infrastructure improvements. We recommend voting YES on Amendment 4.

Amendment 5 Tax exemptions for property held in trusts: YES

Louisiana’s constitution expressly grants homestead exemptions to qualifying properties held in trust.

However, a 2017 Attorney General’s opinion raises questions about the application of the exemption in certain circumstances. Amendment 5 would clarify how the exemption applies to trusts — and the exemption would end upon the death of the original owners who set up the trusts. We recommend voting YES on Amendment 5.

Amendment 6 Phase in large assessment increases: YES

In Louisiana, all property must be assessed at least once every four years. When that happens, property owners often see large — sometimes very large — increases in their property taxes. Amendment 6 would cushion that financial blow by imposing a four-year phase-in when reassessment of a residence covered by the homestead exemption is greater than 50 percent of the prior assessment. This phase-in would

cease if the property is sold to another owner. The amendment would not apply to any increase in assessment resulting from construction or improvements. We recommend voting YES on Amendment 6.

Online fantasy sports betting: YES Louisiana requires parish-by-parish votes on new forms of gambling or “gaming.” This proposition asks voters in each parish if they want to legalize online fantasy sports betting, which is popular across the nation.

According to PAR, fantasy sports games are legal in Louisiana if no wagering is involved.

Some websites (such as ESPN and Yahoo) allow people to sign up for fantasy sports for free and without awarding prizes for winning, while others charge entry fees and give out cash prizes. Louisiana criminalizes using the latter type of site, but the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that the federal ban on sports betting violated the rights of states and thus opened sports betting for states wishing to legalize it.

While many oppose gambling in all its forms, this proposition merely recognizes what already is happening all across America — and across Louisiana. The state Gaming Control Board would regulate such activity, and we think Louisiana parishes where gaming already is allowed likewise should allow online fantasy sports betting.

We recommend voting YES for fantasy sports betting.

Hey Blake, Someone told me Fats Domino used to own a fried chicken restaurant. Where was it?

Dear reader,

When it opened in 1969, Fats Domino’s New Orleans Style Fried Chicken Restaurant was billed as the first in a national chain. The local franchise, at 3440 S. Claiborne Ave., was owned by J.K. Lane. A 1968 newspaper ad said other franchises already had been sold in Baton Rouge, Monroe, Atlanta, Kingston, Jamaica and The Bahamas.

Domino appeared at the local grand opening on March 15, 1969.

The first 500 customers received a free record of his version of the song “So Swell When You’re Well.”

“The Times-Picayune” covered the opening, which coincided with Domino’s gig at Al Hirt’s Club on Bourbon Street. “The rotund, graveled-voice pop singer was greeted by a throng of fans that crowded into the restaurant,” the newspaper reported. “They were there to both see him and taste his fried fowl and seemed well pleased with both.”

The menu featured a two- or three-piece fried chicken dinner, available with mashed potatoes, French fries, dirty rice or coleslaw.

Prices ranged from 98 cents to $1.15.

“The Domino,” a whole fried chicken, was available for $2.50, while the 15-piece “Pleasure Pail” of chicken sold for $3.90. Fried chicken livers and gizzards also were sold.

In his 1970 book “The New Orleans Underground Gourmet,” critic Richard Collin gave the restaurant a mixed review, saying it suffered from inconsistency: “Still, the batter on Fats’ chicken has character, the inside is reasonably moist and the batter seems more willing to stay on the chicken than franchise places

generally manage.” Collin called the dirty rice a “triumph … an excellent local specialty of rice and gizzards which is not as widely available as it deserves to be.”

In his book “Blue Monday: Fats Domino and the Lost Dawn of Rock ’N’ Roll,” Domino biographer Rick Coleman writes that the chain, or at least the New Orleans location, closed after only a year or so.

In 1972, Al Copeland introduced Popeyes and soon opened a location on St. Claude Ave., not far from Domino’s Lower 9th Ward home.

Fats became a regular customer and was hired to sing a version of the chain’s “Love That Chicken” jingle in the 1980s. In 2003, Popeyes presented him with a card entitling him to free fried chicken for life.

BLAKEVIEW THIS WEEK MARKS THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY of an event that brought thousands of local Roman Catholics and pilgrims from around the world to New Orleans for the Eighth National Eucharistic Congress. Similar gatherings have been convened worldwide since the 1880s to honor the Blessed Sacrament or the Eucharist, the bread which Catholics believe is the body of Jesus Christ. The New Orleans event, held Oct. 17-20, 1938, featured a huge procession down Canal Street. Nearly 65,000 people attended an outdoor Mass held at City Park Stadium (now Tad Gormley Stadium). The outdoor altar featured a 75-foot-tall domed canopy and 9-foot-tall crucifix. At the end of the Mass, Pope Pius XI spoke to the crowd via radio. An elaborate bejeweled 14-karat gold monstrance, or vessel to hold the Blessed Sacrament, was created for the Mass. It was formed with donations of gold, silver and other precious metals and gems from Catholics here and across the country. It was used during Pope John Paul II’s visit to New Orleans in 1987 and still is used for special Masses and religious observances.

MONG THE THREADS RUNNING THROUGH HUNDREDS OF FILMS SCREENING AROUND NEW ORLEANS THIS WEEK ARE SOCIAL JUSTICE AND “THE SOUTH” — what it means, who defines it and what its future could look like.

Now in its 29th year, the New Orleans Film Festival returns this month with a broad spectrum of feature films, documentaries, shorts, music videos and interactive films, culled from more than 6,000 submissions and curated to ensure that the festival “champions voices that are not always represented on screen or behind the camera,” says artistic director Clint Bowie.

The festival screens more than 200 films Oct. 17-25 at the Contemporary Arts Center, The New Orleans Advocate, The Broad Theater, Orpheum Theater and Prytania Theatre.

Its inclusive vision aims to carve out a space for filmmakers of color and local filmmakers, whose work is spread throughout the festival with bigger-ticket films, and to connect them with producers to help get their stories told on screens outside New Orleans and beyond. Sixty percent of the films in the lineup are by women directors, and more than half are by filmmakers of color.

Among the higher-profile prestige dramas screening at the festival is opening night film “Green Book,” starring Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen as pianist Don Shirley and his chauffeur Tony Lip as they tour the

Deep South in the ’60s.

The festival’s Centerpiece films include “Widows,” a thriller from “12 Years a Slave” director Steve McQueen, and “Roma” from director Alfonso Cuaron (“Gravity,” “Children of Men,” “Y Tu Mama Tambien”), a love letter to his Mexico City childhood.

The festival also screens “If Beale Street Could Talk,” an adaptation of James Baldwin’s novel of the same name by “Moonlight” director Barry Jenkins, among the slate of eight Spotlight films likely to make awards-season shortlists, including the latest Coen Brothers’ saga “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs” and “WiIdlife,” the directorial debut from actor Paul Dano.

An unofficial thematic thread showcases Southern voices, letting “filmmakers take the lead and imagine what a Southern identity is,” says the festival’s Executive Director Fallon Young. “The possibilities are endless to shape for an audience what a more expansive South is — these are our stories, boldly told.”

Those include films from the documentary “The Unafraid” by Heather Courtney and Anayansi Prado, who chronicle three DACA recipients in Georgia. Harry Moses’ documentary “Guilty Until Proven Guilty” follows a man’s harrowing experience through New Orleans’ complex criminal justice system. Horace Jenkins’ rarely seen Louisiana-shot 1982 film “Cane River” also is screened on an archival 35mm film in 4K.

New Orleans Film Festival Executive Director Fallon Young and Artistic Director Clint Bowie open the 29th annual event Oct. 17.

"Hi I Need to Be Loved” is an experimental short film in the New Orleans Film Festival.

Louisiana filmmakers account for more than a quarter of the festival’s entire lineup.

“As the film community here has grown, so have the number of films and local voices that the festival has been able to spotlight,” Bowie says. “We’re having to carve out an increasingly large space within the slate to accommodate the local talent we have here in New Orleans. … That’s a really big part of what the festival is, a showcase for Louisiana talent as much as it is anything else.”

That growth has dovetailed with Louisiana’s reputation as a production hub and “Hollywood South,” but there also is more support, from grant-supporting organization Create Louisiana and programming through the New Orleans Video Access Center to the festival’s Southern Producers Lab and Emerging Voices programs for filmmakers of color, aiming to get filmmakers out of New Orleans’ “geographic siloing” that often stifles filmmakers’ reach, Young says.

“The landscape is so collaborative, what we really see is filmmakers growing together,” Young says. “Everyone working to support one another — the community really grows organically in that way.”

The festival’s closing night film is “A Tuba to Cuba,” which follows the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to Cuba to trace the shared history of jazz in that country and in New Orleans.

That film ties the festival’s local focus to its Caribbean Voices programming, presenting a slate of films that highlight perspectives from the global South.

The festival also has expanded its free programming to make it more accessible to audiences. A “festival hub” at the Contemporary Arts Center houses

a Krewe of Vaporwave installation and the festival’s new media program Cinema Reset, which showcases 15 virtual reality films and other immersive films, all of which are free to watch. There also are free film screenings, including New Orleans filmmaker Lily Keber’s latest documentary “Buckjumping,” as well as panels and a game show to determine “The World’s Best Underrated Film.”

“There are a lot of ways to plug into the festival, a lot of free ways to be involved,” Young says. “We want to make the festival accessible to everyone.”

REVIEWS OF NEW ORLEANS FILM FESTIVAL FILMS

‘The Gospel of Eureka’ While drag queens perfect their onstage looks in a backstage mirror, another cast of performers with caked-on makeup and dramatic eyeliner prepare for an installment of a three-times weekly performance of the “The Great Passion Play,” under the outstretched arms of a massive “Christ of the Ozarks” statue, all in the curious town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

In their 2016 short “Peace in the Valley,” filmmakers Donal Mosher and Michael Palmieri paired the town’s two scenes together, a glimpse into a seemingly inharmo-

nious coexistence.

Their full-length documentary “The Gospel of Eureka” extends their visit to the town and the lives of its polar opposite population, honoring the time spent and trust built among its subjects and finding more nuance, humor and common ground than conflict.

Framed within the days leading up to and on the night of a vote on a ballot measure that would exclude transgender people from using bathrooms that match their gender identity, “The Gospel of Eureka” anchors itself in the isolated amphitheater that attracts thousands of Christians and onlookers to the Orlando stunt show version of the story of Christ’s death. But down below, Eureka Springs’ LGBTQ residents discuss their Southern identities

and how religion factors into them, despite bigotry from their fellow flock members.

Partners Gregory Lee Keating and Walter Burrell, who run the drag bar Eureka Live Underground, grapple with that disharmony in candid, hilarious and heartbreaking testimony, while Kent Butler, the Passion Play’s star, worships through his mechanical devotion to his craft, in his exemplary marketing-speak and (often unintentionally funny) pitch-perfect performance. As it often does, love prevails, but it’s only through their compassion, exemplified in drag singalong in the margins of a city that promotes its healing properties. — ALEX WOODWARD

How do you make a compelling documentary about land use and gentrification? Fill the big screen with some of the most thrilling action shots and masterfully edited montages of roller skating. In “United Skates,” filmmakers Dyana Winkler and Tina Brown explore how discrimination, racist zoning policies, gentrifying land grabs and a shifting real estate market have threatened roller rinks among black communities and a vibrant, decades-old roller skating culture.

Those shots put the camera and the audience right in the middle of the rink, but the film’s real achievement is the cross-country storytelling that links the fates of three families — in California, Chicago and North Carolina — to a tradition as vital as any other.

The filmmakers capture countless regional skate styles showcasing elaborate footwork and ballet-esque spins, along with the music that propels their bodies.

Chicago’s Buddy Love is among a handful of black roller rink owners, who host a Chicago-only skate style soundtracked by cut-up James Brown songs, resulting in joyous explosions across the screen.

Reggie Brown in North Carolina drives several hours to make his pitch for a rink to host a monthly “adult night.” Rinks have used that label — along with “soul night” and other racially coded terms — to isolate and discriminate against black skaters, but for Brown it at least holds the promise of keeping the culture alive.

And there’s Phelicia Wright’s family of five, all skaters, who have seen the rise and near-fall of Los Angeles skate culture, from Skateland in Compton and World on Wheels in Mid-City to their pivotal role as hip-hop venues and as turf for the rival gangs that called each spot their own. Rapper Coolio, among the many hip-hop icons interviewed throughout the film, explains that while the parking lots were the gangs’ territory, the neutral zones inside remained hallowed grounds, and communities ensured their survival. Two decades later, the fight is still worth having to protect those spaces and the dignity of the riders who light them up.

‘Bathtubs Over Broadway’ “My Insurance Man.” “Lucite, You and ’72.” “Tractors a Go-Go.” These musical extravaganzas hardly are “Hamilton” or “Fiddler on the Roof,” but they were part of a mid-20th-century tradition in which Big Business commissioned lavish musical stage entertainments for conventions and sales meetings, designed to entertain and inspire the men and women who would go home reinvigorated to sell life insurance or steel-belted radials.

Steve Young, a writer for “The Late Show with David Letterman,” became fascinated with “industrial musical” records he found in thrift shops, and began collecting them, along with commemorative films that were made from these elaborate spectacles.

“Bathtubs Over Broadway” chronicles his crate-digging obsession of productions like the “1967 Dog Chow Spectacular,” in which an Ann-Margret manque wiggles her way through a salute to dog food. Young interviews people like Martin Short and Florence Henderson, who made a living doing industrial musicals before becoming famous, and lyricist/composer Sheldon Harnick, who cut his teeth writing these one-and-done extravaganzas before hitting it big with “Fiddler.” The best part of Young’s journey, though, is his tracking down the leads of “The Bathrooms Are Coming,” one of the most lavish examples of the industrial genre.

The result is a fun, breezy documentary about American optimism and artistic yearning. Besides, where else are you going to see clips from “Raguletto,” surely the world’s only opera about Ragu spaghetti sauce?

‘Buckjumping’ There’s no shortage of documentary films about New Orleans street culture, notably including Les Blank’s 1978 film “Always for Pleasure,” Royce Osborn’s “All on a Mardi Gras Day” and a host of post-Hurricane Katrina projects about the recovery and preservation of traditions involving Mardi Gras Indians, second lines, New Orleans music and more.

Director Lily Keber follows up “Bayou Maharajah,” her 2013 documentary about James Booker,

with a film that touches on many New Orleans cultural traditions, all of them sharing an element of exuberant dancing. Much of it falls under the label of “buckjumping,” the funky freeform steps deployed in Social Aid and Pleasure Club (SAPC) parades and elsewhere.

Keber interviews many veteran musicians, SAPC club members and others. Rapper Mia X, aka Mia Young, describes the pleasures and release of music and dance, all while she cuts potatoes and prepares a boiling pot in the spare kitchen space of a neighborhood bar. “You know they say, ‘You have to laugh to keep from crying,’ ” she says. “You have to dance to keep from cutting up.” Mia X also shares her boiling recipe as she goes.

What distinguishes the film is Keber’s camerawork and assembled cast of veterans of various cultural activities. She captures the dancing in the middle of the crowd, not from the sidelines, and often the film takes the viewer to the center of the action. After an opening montage of dancing in the streets, the film goes behind the scenes with the Big Nine SAPC as members make fans and get dressed to come out on the street wearing kilts, a new outfit for the group.

The film also delves into related dance traditions. Keber talks to members of the Creole Wild West Mardi Gras Indians, including Big Chief Irving “Honey” Banister, the dance team of Edna Karr High School as it prepares for Carnival parades, and bounce rappers as women show off their twerking skills. The film also captures the more somber sides of jazz funeral traditions, as DJ Jubilee maintains a benevolent society’s tomb, and Keber follows a funeral procession.

Much of this subject matter has been covered before, but Keber’s vantage point from the middle of the action and the comfort of the people talking to the camera that make the documentary come alive. It almost feels like an immersive experience.

“Man Made” follows four competitors from across the country as they prepare for the 2016 competition. Mason has a lean, muscled physique and he competes in body building competitions regularly, though many do not allow transgender competitors. While body-building is a metaphor for the physical transformations all the participants have made, there’s all sorts of changes in their lives.

Rese was kicked out of his home when his parents learned about his transformation. Kennie’s lesbian partner struggles with the feeling that she doesn’t want a boyfriend.

Workouts with weights and throwing massive truck tires seem like the least of the sacrifices made by the men. They share experiences ranging from attempted suicide to homelessness to being physically harassed. Dominic is endlessly determined, and his upbeat, fearless attitude propels the film.

He is adopted, and his attempt to connect with his birth mother is a unique journey. The film introduces more competitors as they arrive in Atlanta for the competition.

Many of the competitors have scars from mastectomies, some of which frame bulging pectoral muscles. Mason talks about the diet regimen that he uses to stay in shape, but the film could use more information about the sport of bodybuilding and its rituals.

Mason laughs about his preference to be alone when his body is spray tanned for competition. At the Atlanta event, there is a too brief gloss on the issue of wearing “packers” to project a bulge in the posing trunks competitors don for events. There’s enough emotional hardship on display from family rejection, self-doubt and the events of transformations, including surgery, testosterone treatments and other concerns, but the film needs to let its subjects speak more, as difficult as that often is.

As physically imposing as several of the competitors’ bodies have become, their strength takes many shapes. — WILL COVIELLO

Mahershala Ali, left, and Viggo Mortensen star in “Green Book,” a civil rights-era drama directed by Peter Farrelly.

‘Roll Red Roll’

Nancy Schwartzman’s documentary about one of the most infamous rape cases in recent years, opens with vistas of quiet nighttime streets in a small town — and a tape of giddy teenage boys giggling about “the dead girl.”

“She is so raped right now,” one of them says. “This is the funniest thing ever.”

The story of “Jane Doe,” a Steubenville, Ohio high school girl who was raped by high school football players while she was unconscious (or semi-conscious), received national and international coverage when it happened in 2012. You may remember the broad outlines of the case, but Schwartzman lays out the story in detail — and the more dispassionate her camera is, the more chilling the tale becomes.

Steubenville at large seemed willing to dismiss the girl’s account as a “he said/she said” situation fueled by alcohol and teenage hormones, until Alexandria Goddard, a local crime blogger, got the names of the boys on the football team and combed through their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts. What emerged was a timeline in which the boys, giddy with power, laid out exactly what happened that night — and when Goddard posted it on the internet, football-crazy Steubenville exploded, and not in a good way.

To reveal what happened next would spoil “Roll Red Roll” (named for the football team’s slogan), which includes videotape of police testimony as well as courtroom footage. It’s not clear whether Schwartzman attempted to

interview either the boys or their families (she was rebuffed in an attempt to interview their football coach, who refused even to bench his star players involved). One of the player’s attorneys lays out his defense for his client for Schwartzman, and it’s pitifully weak.

“Roll Red Roll,” of course, has special resonance in the age of #MeToo, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser Christine Blasey Ford, but it’s also an eternal story about what happens when a society prizes its sons over its daughters.

BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund MY INTRODUCTION TO GUATEMALA

was in my early 20s when I traveled frequently to the country. I spent days swimming in the rivers and lakes, hiking through hillside towns near volcanoes and making some less responsible decisions come nighttime, as one does in one’s youth.

But before night fell, there always was dinner. On the bank of the Rio Dulce, there were grilled whole fresh fish served with a lime wedge and half an avocado. There were steamed tamales, deep-fried tacos filled with shredded beef, warming stews bobbing with chicken and potatoes, and tortillas. There always were tortillas.

Those meals resonated the most.

Those dishes and enjoying humble hospitality in the bucolic setting were my first taste of Central America.

I was reminded of those trips when I ate at Catalino’s, a new Guatemalan restaurant on Maple Street opened by husband-and-wife team Addie and Hugo Vasquez. Here, fresh tortillas arrive tucked in a foil sheath beneath colorful Guatemalan fabric. Just the scent of corn wafting from the soft, warm tortillas was enough to transport me back to Guatemala.

Hugo Vasquez grew up in the nation’s capital, Guatemala City. Much of Catalino’s food is inspired by Guatemalan street vendors who hawk fried snacks and grilled meats on every corner. Elote loco is boiled corn on the cob drizzled with butter, mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard and showered with Cotija cheese. A squeeze of lime

adds a tart punch.

Guatemalan-style tacos are a far cry from their Mexican brethren.

Rolled corn tortillas are filled with potatoes and shredded beef (there’s also a chicken version), deep-fried and served with a ranchero-style tomato sauce and Cotija cheese. Guatemalan guacamole takes a minimalist approach, including just avocado, lime, diced white onions and a few chunks of red pepper, and is served with fried plantain chips.

Pescada a la plancha is a pan-fried whole trout served butterflied on a platter with red and green salsas, green salad, thick onion rings and lime wedges. Beneath the crispyskinned exterior, the fish was soft with a mild taste.

The most uncommon dishes on the menu are those that speak directly to the Mayan influences in Guatemala.

For dessert, milky arroz con leche is served warm in a ceramic pot with fresh mint leaves and a cookie. It’s a simple sweet cap to a meal here.

For drinks, there are flavorful aguas frescas, including a refreshing rubyhued hibiscus tea. Catalino’s does not serve alcohol, but diners can bring their own.

Poppy Tooker Cookbook author, radio host

738 Poland Ave. 504-943-9914 www.jackdempseys.net

CHEF, COOKBOOK WRITER AND HOST of WWNO’s “Louisiana

Eats!,” Poppy Tooker releases the “Pascal’s Manale Cookbook” this month. It includes recipes and a history of the restaurant’s origins and five generations of family ownership. Tooker explores New Orleans’ Sicilian-Creole culinary traditions and shares anecdotes about the restaurant’s colorful past. Tooker signs copies of the book at the restaurant’s oyster bar from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20. Tooker spoke to Gambit about the book.

Why did you write this cookbook?

TOOKER: I was on a mission. Ever since I finished writing (“Tujague’s Cookbook”), I’ve been trying to figure out what to write about next. This is classic Italian Creole and (Tujague’s) is classic French Creole. My journey really began with Madame Begue and that’s what led me to Tujague’s and then I asked myself what was left. What was left was the other second-oldest continuously operating restaurant in New Orleans. This was the story that made sense to me.

How did you do research for this book and what archival materials did you use?

T: It’s twofold: It’s the recipes and it’s the family history. I started collecting the recipes and working on the old menus; there’s stuff in here that may not have appeared on a menu since the 1940s.

I told (the family) repeatedly, from the day that they all signed off on the cookbook that I was going to be part of their family now, whether they liked it or not. I kept digging and saying, “Do you have any family pictures?” They had a guestbook in the safe that (I didn’t see) until last summer.

There I found all these incredible signatures — like Marilyn Monroe (who recorded that she was having dinner with Gregory Peck), Woody Harrelson, Joan Baez and the Marx Brothers.

(Regarding the archival photos), they’re all on the wall. There are unbelievable archival (materials) on the walls of that bar.

Martin H. Radosta (Jr.) just passed away (this year). But I was able to sit with him, and he told me incredible things. He’s the only one who knew Frank Manale. For decades, (Radosta) worked the front door. Back then — in the ’60s, ’70s and early ’80s — you couldn’t get in there. The bar would be packed shoulder to shoulder. There was a pay phone at the front door where people would call the reception desk and tell them, “We’re here, but we can’t get in!” This one regular customer came in and said, “I’m not gonna wait,” and Martin said, “Oh yeah, you’re gonna wait.”

He reached across the bar. He grabbed the guy’s tie and he nailed it to the bar. Then when his table was ready, Martin unhooked his tie and the guy went peacefully into the dining room and had his dinner.

Do you have a favorite recipe in the book?

T: There are lots of treasures.

One recipe had been lost in time.

It’s the most freaking delicious (Italian cream cake). The only reason I have this recipe is because (Robert J.) “Sandy” Whann, of Leidenheimer (Baking Company) grew up eating at (Pascal’s) Manale and he loved this cake so much that he insisted they go there for his birthday every year. At some point, his mom sweet-talked the recipe out of them. The recipe was with the Whann family. Nobody in the DeFelice family had it.

The recipe that I have cooked the most is crabmeat ravigote. I knew that it exists as a hot dish, but this (recipe) is the only version that I’ve ever cooked or had a recipe for. It is delicious and one of the most beautiful things to do with crabmeat. — HELEN FREUND

BY WILL COVIELLO CYRIL NEVILLE HAS SPENT much of his career playing in New Orleans R&B and funk super groups. He joined brother Art Neville in the seminal funk outfit The Meters and was the youngest of the siblings in the Neville Brothers band. In recent years, he’s lent his talents to local funk band Galactic, joined guitarists Devon Allman and Mike Zito in the blues-rocking Royal Southern Brotherhood and brought percussion and funk to the Voice of the Wetlands Allstars. He spent early fall on tour with Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue.

Neville also is sharing the stage at this all-star concert celebrating his 70th birthday. The roster of old and new friends and fellow Nevilles includes Irma Thomas, Deacon John Moore, Galactic, Davell Crawford, John Boutte, Erica Falls, New Breed Brass Band, Glen David Andrews, Khalif Neville, Omari Neville & the Fuel, Big Chief Juan Pardo and others.

MUSIC PREVIEW John Hiatt

BY WILL COVIELLO SINGER-SONGWRITER John Hiatt’s songs have been covered by artists from country and blues stars to Iggy Pop and Linda Ronstadt. Early in his career, others had more success with them than Hiatt. Three Dog Night’s version of his “Sure As I’m Sittin’ Here” climbed the Billboard charts in 1974, and Bonnie Raitt’s cover of “Thing Called Love” was a big hit on her 1989 album “Nick of Time.”

John Hiatt released “The Eclipse Sessions” OCt. 12.

Hiatt found himself in the spotlight with his late 1980s albums “Bring the Family” and “Slow Turning.” (Lafayette slide guitarist Sonny Landreth put together the band The Goners to back Hiatt for the “Slow Turning” album, and they still sometimes perform together.) Hiatt’s voice is a bit scratchier for the wear, but as evidenced on “The Eclipse Sessions,” released Oct. 12, he still has his stately charm, slowly strumming and telling stories in his distinct voice.

Tickets $35-$72.50. 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20. House of Blues, 225 Decatur St., (504) 310-4999; www.houseofblues.com.

STAGE

PREVIEW The Pillowman

BY WILL COVIELLO IRISH PLAYWRIGHT and screenwriter Martin McDonagh’s work often focuses on violent subjects, some of which are deflected by his sharp writing and dark sense of humor. His screenwriting credits include “Three Michael Joel Bartelle, Michael Aaron Santos, Meredith Billboards Outside Owens and James Bartelle star in “The Pillowman.”

Ebbing, Missouri” (about the rape and murder of a teenage girl) and “Seven Psychopaths” (which includes pet abductions and psychopaths confessing crimes to a writer looking for ideas). In his drama “A Behanding in Spokane,” which The NOLA Project presented in 2012, a suitcase flew open, sending severed hands flying into the front row of seats in a story about a man searching for his missing hand. The NOLA Project also produced McDonagh’s “The Lieutenant of Inishmore,” a black comedy in which a violent political activist seeks vengeance when he believes his cat has been murdered.

In “The Pillowman,” which won the Olivier Award for Best New Play when it premiered in London, a writer is detained by police in an authoritarian state. The officers suspect him of horrible crimes, because recent murders resemble fairy tales the writer has published. The writer doesn’t believe what the interrogators say, and pleads that his own work is all fabricated. What spills out is a darkly comic drama about the power of storytelling.

The NOLA Project’s Mark Routhier directs James Bartelle, Michael Aaron Santos, Meredith Owens, Michael Joel Bartelle and others. Tickets $33-$38. At 8 p.m.

IN KATE CHOPIN’S “THE AWAKENING,” Edna Pontillier walks away from a loveless marriage by drowning herself off Grand Isle; nearly a centuP H OTO B Y J O H N B . B A RR O I S ry later, Anne Tyler reversed the script in “Ladder of Trey Burvant and Jessica Podewell star in “A Doll’s Years” by having Delia GrinHouse, Part 2.” stead walk away from the beach during a family vacation — and keep going. But the woman who started it all was Nora Helmer, who walked out of her grand home (famously slamming the door behind her) in the last moment of Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House.” In the 19th century, that move was a controversial sensation — and outrage.

What happened after that door slammed is the basis for Lucas Hnath’s cheekily titled “A Doll’s House, Part 2,” which had a Broadway run in 2016 that gained acclaim for its star, Laurie Metcalf. Southern Rep has chosen Part 2 to begin its 2018-19 season, as well as the first production in its new home, the former St. Rose de Lima Church on Bayou Road. (The renovation is magnificent; New Orleans now has yet another cultural center.)

The sequel of sorts (set in period dress, but with thoroughly 21st-century dialogue) begins with a pounding at the door: Nora (Jessica Podewell) has come home after a 15-year absence, to the surprise of the old family retainer Anne Marie (Liana Pattison). Nora’s richly clad and obviously doing well — having had success by writing her own biography as a feminist manifesto — in other words, she’s written “A Doll’s House” from the first person, Hnath’s most inspired conceit.

Hnath was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play, but the script is creaky in spots. Ibsen sketched the dissolution and dissatisfaction of the Helmers’ marriage by showing rather than telling, while Hnath’s dialogue is heavy on characters explaining exactly what’s going on in their heads, making it sound like a therapy session at times (at one point, Nora even talks about trying to be “her best self”). It leaves the actors little room to play against their own words — they’re too busy explaining their feelings.

Podewell plays Nora as self-satisfied but not completely insensitive; she’s back for a reason, and it’s not a family reunion. Trey Burvant’s Torvald is a fine foil, too old to be furious with Nora, but at the same time showing how his paternalism drove her away in the first place. Pattison brings welcome astringent humor as exasperated Anne Marie, and Sarah Durn is terrific as Emmy, the Torvalds’ young adult daughter, who enters late in the show; her steely chipperness is reminiscent of Reese Witherspoon.

Aimee Hayes’ direction is sharp, and costumes by Cecile Casey Covert are on point. David Raphel’s set suggests lives suspended in amber, and his oversized doors loom over the actors as that slamming door looms over their lives. Onstage violin accompaniment by Tarrah Reynolds and Kate Withrow adds poignance to every scene.

“A Doll’s House, Part 2.” Tickets $15-$45. 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday; 3 p.m. Sunday, through Oct. 28. Southern Rep Theatre, 2541 Bayou Road, (504) 522-6545; www.southernrep.com.

REVIEW ‘Passage’

BY D. ERIC BOOKHARDT “JESUS WAS A SAILOR when he walked upon the water... only drowning men could see him.”

So opined Leonard Cohen in his epochal 1967 ballad “Suzanne.”

Similarly, the historical Buddha often is depicted serenely floating on a lotus flower. If spirituality is so closely linked with water, New Orleans may be the most spiritual city in America. If that sounds far fetched, this “Passage” expo at Callan Contemporary gallery extends Raine Bedsole’s long exploration of spirit vessels that, like New Orleans itself, can seem magically suspended in a sea of humidity. So what are we to make of this armada of welded bronze, copper and steel pirogues that float in space much the way deceased Egyptian pharaohs were envisioned sailing across the night sky in buoyant Nile barques? These are hardly uncharted waters for Bedsole, for whom these skeletal vessels have been a consistent theme, but each iteration reveals new facets of her ongoing investigation via new tidal currents of connections. Here, the spindly crosshatching of “Lachesis” looks like a Native American canoe and suggests both the veinous expanses of banana tree leaves and the gossamer wings of vintage airplanes. Likewise, the swampy streamers dripping from the skeletal “Maia” suggest bejeweled root systems that blur the boundaries between the earth and the sea and a perspective beyond the all-consuming currents of techno-minutiae that the 21st century imposes upon us.

Indeed, contemporary techno-minutiae is just the latest version of a very old story that once was summarized succinctly by a late lawyer friend of mine: “Life is a hustle.” But, as the Buddha, Jesus, Taoist sages and saints of all stripes might agree, just beyond the latest hustle is a chill space where the connectivity exceeds whatever is available on your smartphone. Those broader and more supportive currents are silently yet resonantly conveyed in Bedsole’s “Philosophers I-IV” (pictured), as the Buddhas seem to float on lotus petals amid climbing vines in a realm where addictive algorithms melt into the oceanic currents of the cosmos. Or as Bedsole says, “When I have dreams of flying, I am always in a boat.”
