Once every decade, the highly politicized Texas State Board of Education rewrites the teaching and textbook standards for its nearly 5 million schoolchildren. And when it comes to textbooks, what happens in Texas affects the nation as a whole.

THE REVISIONARIES follows the rise and fall of some of the most controversial figures in American education through some of their most tumultuous intellectual battles.

Video Association of Dallas is proud to be the Community Sponsor of the Texas premiere of this important documentary at the Dallas International Film Festival.  Become a VAD member and receive a free ticket to the Sunday, April 22, 5:30 PM, Angelika 6 screening.

Tchoupitoulas

released, VideoFest is the community partner of Tchoupitoulas is a story of the New Orleans night. It is a visually exhilarating and aurally immersive record of one night in the many lives of a thriving nocturnal populace. Three young boys act as our wide-eyed conduits to a parade of entertainers and revelers as they dance through the lamp lit streets and doorways of the Crescent City. From dusk to dawn, from Rampart to the river, we explore the lives and locales of one of the world’s most unique cities. In moments, vignettes, performances, and exchanges, “Tchoupitoulas” is a kaleidoscopic odyssey into another side of New Orleans.

Annie is a rebellious ten-year-old girl. She lives on the outskirts of town with her father Marvin, who, when not herding goats, mostly sleeps the day away. Virtually devoid of parental guidance, Annie is left to fend for herself and do as she pleases. With no moral compass, she roams the neighboring lands, shoplifting and engaging in general destructive behavior. Her routine is broken one day while playing in the woods; she hears an old woman calling from deep within an abandoned well, asking for help. Scared and untrusting of the unseen stranger, Annie deliberates on her course of action.

It got a good review in Hammer to Nail and the filmmakers are good Texas boys.

David and Nathan Zellner are filmmaking siblings who have written, produced, and directed numerous films and music videos that have screened at festivals worldwide. Their 2008 feature “Goliath” premiered at Sundance and went on to be distributed by IFC Films.
