Attend a special screening Monday night (Sept. 19) at 7:30 p.m. of "The Quarter by Carriage," the first of a multi-volume DVD project that explores the colorful history of the famed French Quarter of New Orleans. Post-production had just concluded on the documentary prior to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The screening is at Hal & Mal's restaurant located at 200 S. Commerce St.

Along with 4Tell Films, the event is sponsored by the Crossroads Film Society, a multi-cultural, non-profit organization dedicated to providing access to international, national, and local film and video and the Jackson Free Press, the city's alternative weekly newspaper. All proceeds and funds raised from the evening will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.
