Lafayette Parish
Inspiring the Next Generation of Filmmakers
Acadiana’s budding filmmakers in grades 6-12 are invited to share their creative vision in Southern Screen’s Student Film Showcase, presented in partnership with Acadiana Center for the Arts and Lafayette Parish School System.
This is a wonderful chance to inspire students to explore storytelling through film, connect to cultural themes, and apply their creative and technical skills. Each submission offers an opportunity to have their work showcased in a meaningful community event.

MUSIC AS CULTURAL IDENTITY
Music reveals where we come from, shapes who we are, and reflects what we value. This year, Southern Screen will showcase student films that explore how music expresses, shapes, and preserves our culture. Create a film that highlights how music brings people together, defines identity, and preserves traditions and in your local community.
