CROWLEY, La. — Acadia Parish Tourism and the City of Crowley invite the public to a free community screening of Pointe Noire, an acclaimed film by renowned Louisiana filmmaker Pat Mire, on Friday, June 12, at 6:30 p.m. at the historic Rice Theater in downtown Crowley.

The screening is free and open to the public.

Filmed in Acadia Parish, Pointe Noire explores the rich cultural traditions, resilience, and heritage of South Louisiana through the distinctive storytelling lens of Mire, whose work has long celebrated Cajun and Creole history and identity. The screening offers audiences a chance to experience a film with strong local connections in one of Crowley’s treasured historic venues.

Following the screening, Pat Mire and Rebecca Hudsmith will be in attendance for a question-and-answer session with the audience.

“We’re excited to showcase a film that highlights the culture and spirit of our region while also celebrating Acadia Parish as part of its story,” said organizers. “This screening is a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and enjoy Louisiana filmmaking close to home.”

Doors will open at 6 p.m., and guests are encouraged to arrive early for seating.
