Friday-Saturday, January 3-4, 2025 Feature & Short Films, Filmmaking Workshop & Beach Party Bonfire
Join us for Bay St. Louis’s new independent film festival! It’s small…Friday 6-10 pm & Saturday Noon-7:30 pm [at historic 100 Men Hall] followed by our Beach Party & Bonfire. Food & drink available & cash/credit bar.[Tickets $25.] We’re honored to screen two features: NORITA, a profound and relevant new documentary presented by Sarah Anne Schoellkopf and COOKIE’S FORTUNE, Robert Altman’s Mississippi filmed comedy penned by our guest Anne Rapp. We believe watching great films and discussing how they’re made with people who have done the work is an inspiration for creating new work…and it’s fun. So with that in mind, don’t miss Bart Weiss’s SMARTPHONE CINEMA WORKSHOP. Please start your new year off with us in Bay St. Louis!
