Five months after Hurricane Katrina, Academy Award winning director Jonathan Demme traveled to New Orleans to document what would become of this great American city.

Five months after Hurricane Katrina, filmmaker Jonathan Demme and writer Daniel Wolff traveled to New Orleans to document what would become of this great American City. They only planned a few visits. Fifteen years later, the over 500 hours of footage remained archived and the project was never finished - until now. Despite Jonathan’s death in 2017, his last film discovers that the recovery of New Orleans is more than just brick and mortar; it’s a struggle to revive the spiritual heart of the city.

“I’ve been in this business a very long time. If there’ s anything I’ve learned, it’ s that a great deal of effort goes into making a film. It’s a collaborative effort on all fronts and you are only as good as the team that surrounds you. I have been blessed and honored to work with some of the best directors and cinematographers that ever worked in the business and as life is always a learning experience, I’ve enjoyed being a student in the presence of some of the greats.

A director of photography is a very unique position, as he sees through the lens as no other does and becomes the quintessential artist that paints what an audience will end up viewing, frame by frame, picture by picture. I have been in many situations where it was left to the DP to make the final decision as to how something is going to be shot. Many directors and I’ m sure they would agree with me, having a great DP as a partner means the difference between success and failure in accomplishing the vision that was intended for the audience and helping a film come to its fullest realization and potential.

(And girls, a director of photography, the one who knows beauty lighting, if that is the goal in a particular piece, for example Noir and Period Pieces... can be your BEST friend.)

I am honored to be a part of this project with Lynne Littman, Gregory Hoblit, Matthew Berkowitz, Debrah Farentino, Oren Segal, and finally, the subject of this piece, Philippe Rousselot, who is one of the most prolific cinematographers working today. I am excited to go on this joumey and see through his lens once again, as there is always something else to learn.

Sincerely.”

Kim Basinger, executive producer

Code of the Freaks presents a radical reframing of the use of disabled characters in film. Using hundreds of clips spanning over 100 years of moviemaking, and a cast of disabled artists, scholars and activists, it’s a scorching critique of some of Hollywood’s most beloved characters.

Drawing its title from a line from Tod Browning’s notorious 1932 film, Freaks, Code of the Freaks debunks well-worn tropes – the miracle cure, the blind guy driving a car, the magical little people, the face-feelers, the sexless, the better off dead – and brings an entirely fresh perspective.
