NCLAC Film Series: Up From the Streets

NCLAC presents six independent films each year to highlight the artistry and talents of filmmakers who capture stories that create a large impact without a lot of resources.

What’s even more special is that the filmmakers attend the screenings, offering Q&A sessions after the films!

Up From the Streets is a feature length documentary that looks at the culture of New Orleans through the lens of music. New Orleans has a distinct history as a result of its political and social history. There is a thread that runs through the city that can be heard from the drumming at Congo Square in the 1700’s through to today’s vibrant music scene.
