Located in the heart of Cajun country, Cinema on the Bayou Film Festival is dedicated to presenting narrative, documentary, and animated films and filmmakers with truly original voices in one of the friendliest, most unique cultures in the world. The festival is now unique among film festivals in the U.S. in that it regularly screens a large number of French-language films and presents filmmakers from throughout the Francophone world.
This year, nearly two hundred films will be screened throughout the eight-day festival at locations around Lafayette, including Cite des Arts, Vermilionville Performance Center, and Acadiana Center for the Arts. This year's festival will open on January 24 at 6:30 pm at the ACA with the World Premiere of the powerful short documentary Rifles & Rosary Beads. The film will be followed by a gala reception. cinemaonthebayou.com.
