Event Description
Eve's Bayou | Dir. Kasi Lemmons
In English with Spanish subs. | 108 min
The film is set in 1962, when Eve Batiste, a 10-year-old girl, lives in a prosperous Creole-American community in Louisiana with her siblings.
Her father, Louis, a highly respected doctor in the community, claims to be a descendant of the French aristocrat Jean Paul Batiste, who founded the town of Eve’s Bayou and named it in honor of the enslaved woman whose medicinal skills cured him of a severe case of cholera.
One night, after a wild party, Eve accidentally witnesses her father having sex with Matty Mereaux, a family friend. However, Cisely, her older sister—who has a very close relationship with their father—convinces Eve that she misinterpreted an innocent moment.
The unreliability of memory and observation serve as major themes throughout the film.
After the screening, there will be a discussion with Hassan Ansah
