Due to the recent unpleasantness,
Baton Rouge has eclipsed New Orleans as the largest city in Louisiana.
Is the city destined for greatness? Scenic
Highway is the name of US Highway 61 as it passes
through northern Baton Rouge. It is also this trip to the city
– and such landmarks as Huey Long’s art deco State
Capitol building and Buckminster Fuller’s hidden geodesic
dome. This darkly affectionate memoir is also an exposé
of the city’s colorful history – told through the
use of animated motion graphics, archival Super 8 footage, and
re-created & faux-created elements.
