Thursday, July 7 | 6pm | $15
In the next installment of CCA & Lost Padre Records’ music + film series, CCA Amplified, we’re proud to present a one-time special screening of City of a Million Dreams, a powerful documentary on how New Orleans jazz funerals and Sunday second line parades absorb the pain of death and the legacy of racism, soaring to the transcendent joy of rebirth. A 20-year endeavor for director Jason Berry, the film follows clarinetist Dr. Michael White and culture carrier Deb “Big Red” Cotton in a search for the city’s soul.
The film’s July 7 special event screening includes a live, in-person Q&A with musician Dr. Michael White, the film’s director, Jason Berry, and CCA Head of Cinema Programming, Luke Henley.
The film itself will be screened regularly this coming week, with showtimes below:
Friday 8, July
Saturday 9, July
Sunday 10, July
Wednesday 13, July
Thursday 14, July
