Artists driven

Music, Movies, and More…

Southern Screen is a multi-disciplinary 501(c)3 not-for-profit arts organization that supports and celebrates artists and their work. We provide a platform for emerging and established storytellers of all types to sharpen their skills, showcase their craft, and share their creativity. Moving beyond traditional film and music outlets, we expose Southern communities to the widespread possibilities of storytelling, by curating year round events, workshops, and pop-ups all in preparation for our annual Southern Screen Festival every November.


the HEART OF CAJUN & CREOLE COUNTRY

Our organization is located in the culturally rich landscape of Lafayette, Louisiana. This offers an emerging landscape for truly unique voices and visions. We are proud to be a resource and partner for a growing creative community and look forward to our continued collaborations with local creators as well as media makers from a far.
