We’re taking George Dureau: New Orleans Artist to Fifigrot - Festival Groland à Toulouse!

📣 Rencontre exceptionnelle à noter avec les réalisateurs Sergio Andres LOBO-NAVIA et Jarret LOFSTEAD autour de leur film :
🎬 GEORGE DUREAU, NEW ORLEANS ARTIST

👉 Ça sera Joudi 19/09 à 18h à American Cosmograph pour la première européenne du film et c'est une projection unique !

Influence majeure de Robert Mapplethorpe, l’oeuvre de George Dureau (1930-2014) est entièrement liée à sa ville natale, La Nouvelle-Orléans. Venu de la peinture et du dessin qu’il pratique intensément dès les années 1960, ce sont ses photos de nus masculins qui vont le faire remarquer en dehors de la Louisiane. La beauté classique de ses compositions, les corps amputés et spectaculaires des sujets qu’il rencontre
dans les quartiers malfamés et qu’il immortalise sur des années, soulignent leur force et leur humanité. Le Sud de Dureau, c’est celui où les pauvres blancs junkies, les freaks et les athlètes noirs font figure de héros incroyablement dignes et aimants pour cet excentrique qui a envoyé balader les homophobes, racistes et
ségrégationnistes de tous poils. Un portrait bouleversant.

Today at the Miami Film Festival is the East Coast premiere of George Dureau: New Orleans Artist. When we started going through the Dureau archive at The Historic New Orleans Collection, this unpublished photo (taken on a disposable camera!) immediately stood out.

It was one of the first images that we asked THNOC to digitize and is also the cover image of their book on the history of Louisiana photography.

If you're in Miami, there are still tickets available to purchase here: https://www.squadup.com/events/george-dureau-new-orleans-artist

If you haven't seen the trailer, you can watch it here: https://vimeo.com/914824705

More screenings will be announced soon including our return to New Orleans!
