The community is invited to join Vermilionville for their free monthly cultural film series, Les Vues, held the last Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in their Performance Center. The free film series is curated by filmmakers and enthusiasts, mostly from around the state. The films will center around the curator’s interest and can range from features, documentaries, student film, shorts, animation, etc. Following the screenings will be an open discussion between the audience and the curator about the movie and how it applies on a local level.
April's screening will be curated by Laci Lopez, owner of The Vertical Barre in Downtown Lafayette, who will be showing the film Urban Fruit. Told through the stories of city dwellers growing food in Los Angeles, Urban Fruit sheds light on the resurgence of urban farming in American cities. This diverse group fights to reclaim a skill that has been lost to the industrial food complex.
The evening will also include a vegan potluck, and attendees are encouraged to bring their favorite homemade vegan dish to share. Admission to the series is free, but a suggested $5 donation will go toward the cost of screening and curating costs.
