Eve’s Bayou

Jul 1—5, 2026
    Part of
  • Spectres, Devils, and Bad Blood in Old America
  • and
  • BAM Film 2026
Directed by Kasi Lemmons (1997)
With Jurnee Smollett, Meagan Good, Samuel L. Jackson, Diahann Carroll
Kasi Lemmons made a splash with one of the most distinctive directorial debuts of the 1990s, a richly atmospheric, Southern Gothic stew of sex, lies, and voodoo in which a young girl witnesses secrets and deceptions tearing her wealthy Louisiana family apart. A primordial American blend of Creole folklore, magic, and mysticism, Eve’s Bayou provides a scintillating showcase for a powerhouse ensemble of Black actresses.
