Located in the heart of Cajun country, the annual eight-day Cinema on the Bayou Film Festival, Louisiana's second oldest film festival, is an international juried film event dedicated to presenting narrative, documentary, animated and experimental films and filmmakers with truly original voices in one of the friendliest, most unique cultures in the world. The festival will be held both in-person and virtually, with the screening of over 140 films from throughout the United States and Canada and from around the world. In-person events include opening and closing night film screenings and filmmaker receptions, daily film screenings, and an awards ceremony at which filmmakers will be awarded our coveted "goujon caille" (spotted catfish) award by artists Pat and Andre Juneau. Select films will also be available for viewing on-line during the Festival. A complete film guide and schedule of film screenings and events will be posted in early January, and all-access passes and individual tickets, for both in-person and virtual film screenings, will be available for purchase in advance at cinemaonthebayou.com.
