Tribeca Film Festival

For readers in New York City: Faubourg Treme: the Untold Story of Black New Orleans, a recent documentary on the oldest African-American neighborhood in the city, screens at the Tribeca Film Festival. Written by Treme resident and Times-Picayune columnist Lolis Eric Elie, it tells the story of a neighborhood just outside the French Quarter, and one that has long served as the place where cultural traditions – music certainly but not exclusively included – were passed from generation to generation. Here‘s information on showtimes and theaters.
