Eve’s Bayou

Breaking onto the scene with one of the most acclaimed feature filmmaking debuts of the 1990s, director Kasi Lemmons drew on a rich Southern Gothic tradition to craft a profoundly mysterious, densely atmospheric family drama set deep in the Louisiana bayou of the early 1960s.

With Creole mysticism imbued into every frame, Eve’s Bayou is a dreamlike slice of Southern Gothic that's also very clearly a story about women - mothers, grandmothers, daughters, sisters and aunts.

Screening as part of the Bad Mums: Motherhood In Cinema season to accompany the touring exhibition Acts Of Creation: On Art and Motherhood.
