COURT 13 ALLIANCE WITH CANO

Court 13 is officially replanted. With the inconceivable efforts of the Creative Alliance of New Orleans, the crumbling palace of Colton Academy, on St. Claude ave in New Orleans has been opened up to arts organization and Court 13 has founds its new home. We'll be opening wood, metal, props shops, an office and editing studio, and a gallery within its hundreds of languishing empty classrooms and founding the Court 13 Film Series in its 1000 seat auditorium.

The USS Jimmy Lee will be reborn for all Saints Day at the beginning of november.

The new era has begun.

.....As a juror for the Short Film Category, I saw a number of imaginative films, each which stood out more by its sheer originality than by any stars or fancy production costs. The winning film, Benh Zeitlin’s Glory at Sea, a daydream of a movie, infused as much with the poetry of Shakespeare’s The Tempest and American folklore as the hard reality of its post-Katrina landscape, was a triumph of can-do filmmaking.
