Cinematic New Orleans
Cinematic New Orleans explores how the city and culture of New Orleans figure prominently as both a character and context in commercial film by examining the production and reproduction of the city's culture and its cinematic expression across numerous film genres since the 1930s. Using the lens of Hollywood film, issues such as place, identity, race, culture, and their social construction, as well as a broader sociological and historical sense of New Orleans will be investigated.
