THE ORDER OF MYTHS - ARIZONA PREMIERE!
plus.... Smile - a short film by Julia Kwan
OPENS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17 - 7:30pm

Friday, October 17 - 7:30pm
Sunday October 19 - 2:30pm and Monday October 20 - 7:00pm

The first Mardi Gras in American was celebrated in Mobile Alabama in 1703. In 2007, it is still
racially segregated. Filmmaker Margaret Brown, a daughter herself of Mobile, escorts us into
the parallels 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.

Official Selection:
Sundance Film Festival 2008
SXSW 2008
Edinburgh Film Festival

Quietly shocking, The Order of Myths is... heavy on local color and insight. - Village Voice
Wise and soberly affecting. - New York Times
