This 7th Annual Katrina Artistically Revisited special commemorative event on the Last Day of Hurricane Season 2012 offers heart-breaking and heart-warming artistic responses to the Katrina experience. Katrina affected us collectively; each year, this special event brings that home to all of us.
The live music by top musicians with their own original Katrina songs is always interspersed throughout the program to give the multimedia feeling and ambiance.
This year, Octavia Books provides Katrina-oriented coffeetable books, with added book signings by Lawrence Powell, Ph.D. who authored The Accidental City, Improvising New Orleans, and by John Wade, II. who authored How to Achieve Heaven on Earth, both authors survived Katrina and will share their stories in the program in the Theatre.
An amazing photography exhibit by Dennis Couvillion plans to share the Lobby with Octavia Books, and first responders will be telling their stories such as Chaplain Hy McEnery (a first responder), Helen Cooper, Dean Shapiro, and others.
In the Theatre, the special event once again delivers a program packed with award-winning film shorts and movie trailers, including filmmaker Matt Faust's First Place documentary short from the Tribeca Film Festival. He's also been awarded over 10 awards in national and international film festivals for this short, called HOME - - about his loss of his home in Katrina.
Another award winning film trailer for the full-length movie, Forgotten on the Bayou, is slated which is a 6-time film festival winner by Steven Scaffidi with Rockey Vaccarella.
The DVD titled Stillness. . . the aftermath of Katrina by Dennis Couvillion graces our special artistic event ever since our first anniversary in 2006. His short film is all in black and white, shot from a canoe right after Katrina in Lakeview, New Orleans when he returns to locate his family pet.
Also, designer maven Chris Madden and her son Patrick have their Project Katrina again in our line-up about refurbishing destroyed homes in Mississippi after Katrina.
Katrina's Children is yet another film trailer for the full length film, Ex. Produced by Richard Colton, Jr. And the New Orleans Kids Camera Project is a slide show of photos taken by children after Katrina, courtesy of Joanna Rosenthal and Ariya Martin, with live music under the footage, by Armand St. Martin on piano/vocals and Steve Allen on sax/flute.
A moving video short by Libba McEnery called Transformations shares their Lamb Ministries experience with their inner city kids after Katrina as she shows how the "teams" came to New Orleans to help them with recovery.
The filmmakers will speak, before their film and movie shorts, about their personal Katrina experience in relationship to how they created their film projects.
Robert Green, Sr. lost his granddaughter and his mother during the breach in the levee after Katrina in the Lower Ninth Ward and he will recount his story of his family's ordeal riding atop their rooftop as their house went crashing down their street.
There is poetry in French and English called "Evacuation" by Stephen Chesnut. Steve Allen performs his upbeat original simply called Katrina. Tenth generation New Orleanian, Armand St. Martin, who is also co-producer and Emee, performs his original songs, Orleans Lullaby and Creole Good-by, from his CD Katrina Anthem on Patty Lee Records. His parody, Waitin' For My Trailer, is an uplift for the end of the night's program.
Photos on the Theatre screen in-between the film shorts and movie trailers are stills by Donn Young, former photographer for the Port of New Orleans, Richard Cahn who is one of our sponsors, Mark Sindler, the official Louisiana State Museum in-house photographer, and Patty Lee, Founder and co-producer of Katrina Artistically Revisited.
Sponsors for the 2012 7th Annual Katrina Artistically Revisited are the Theatres at Canal Place, George Solomon, John E. Wade, II., Vivian and Richard Cahn, Richard C. Colton, Jr., Theodent, Doug Whitford, Arman Sadeghpour, Octavia Books, Soldiers of Love, World 10, and Patty Lee Records.
This grassroots special artistic event represents an array of New Orleanian artists, from every area of the city affected by the Katrina tragedy. Truly, we can say it is: "Katrina Artistically Revisited."
