THE 16TH CINEMA ON THE BAYOU FILM FESTIVAL OPENS JANUARY 20TH WITH THE “VIRTUAL” OPENING NIGHT SCREENING OF MONKEY BEACH AND THE ON-LINE SCREENING OF MORE THAN 140 FILMS AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING THROUGHOUT THE EIGHT-DAY FESTIVAL

Virtual 16th Cinema on the Bayou Film Festival, Jan. 20-27, 2021, in our comfy clothes — just like you can watch the more than 140 films that will be available online beginning on Jan. 20th. World, International, U.S. and Louisiana Premieres of independent films from around the world will be available for viewing at your convenience from the comfort of home. We will miss the gatherings in person with our filmmaker friends and film festival devotees, but there is always 2022!

The 16^th Cinema on the Bayou Film Festival, like so many film festivals and other community events in the time of COVID-19, has had to make significant adjustments this year.  As a result, we will “go virtual” and screen our more than 140 Official Selections online beginning on Jan. 20th.  These films, which are World, International, U.S. and Louisiana Premieres, include narrative and documentary feature films and narrative, documentary, animated and experimental short films from around the world, including 47 French language films.

All-Access Passes for online viewing of all films and film programs are available for $100. Individual feature films and short film programs are available throughout the Festival for viewing online for $10 per film or film program.
