Event
The Order of Myths
Directed by Margaret Brown
80 minutes
Screening sponsored by National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Bergen/Passaic Chapter
The first Mardi Gras in America was celebrated in Mobile, Alabama in 1703 and in 2007, it is still racially segregated. Filmmaker Margaret Brown, a daughter of Mobile, escorts us into the parallel hearts of the city's two carnivals. With unprecedented access, she traces the exotic world of secret mystic societies and centuries-old traditions and pageantry; diamond-encrusted crowns, voluminous, hand-sewn gowns, surreal masks and enormous paper mache floats. Against this opulent backdrop, she uncovers a tangled web of historical violence and power dynamics, elusive forces that keep this hallowed tradition organized along enduring color lines. A New Jersey premiere.
