Saints of Atlantis

Up this month at Studio at Colton - 2300 St. Claude Ave.

Court 13 production designer Eliza Zeitlin and engineer Jimmy Lee Moore bring together puppets and treasures from across the mythic landscapes of Court 13’s short films into a shipwreck of saints and scoundrels; a vision of Atlantis, the lost underwater city, rising up from the deep through a layered universe of Gods and Insects, mega-universes and micro-landscapes, built from submerged, decaying relics found on New Orleans' post-flood street corners and infinite junkyards. This resurrection of the lost ship from Benh Zeitlin's Glory at Sea features the once-limo of a St. Claude Funeral Home.

Court 13 Hope Bomb

Barack Obama's national campaign picks up the Glory at Sea score by Benh Zeitlin and Dan Romer for multiple videos in the final days of the campaign:

We Have a Lot of Work to Do:



One Day to Change the World:



There's Nothing We Can't Do:



Soundtrack and DVD available at www.court13.com

GO OBAMA GO!

BEST SHORT FILM - NEW ORLEANS FILM FESTIVAL

Glory at Sea winning streak continues at The New Orleans Film Festival! Benh and Eliza Zeitlin and cast members Jimmy Lee Moore, Maria Moore, Levy Easterly, and Chris Lewis were there to accept the award.

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.
