by Dege Legg

The Acadiana Center for the Arts, the Center for Cultural and Eco-Tourism, and the Media Arts Workshop at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette present Film @ the Center. Film @ the Center is a free film series that will expose local residents and students to films that portray Louisiana’s people and way of life to an international audience while also allowing the current generation filmmakers and film students to screen their work to a hometown audience. Film @ the Center will also have an educational component attached to the series such as Q & As with directors, writers, and casts. The series launches on Jan. 17. Films will be screened every third Sunday of each month at the Acadiana Center for the Arts’ Art House at 2 p.m. The series is open to all ages and is free to the public.
