Two places to see independent movies in Shreveport: Robinson Film Center and Centenary Film Society

Some of the most memorable movies of my life have come to me via the CFS, the Centenary Film Society. For years Shreveport had no independent film venue and this was the sole place for offbeat stuff. It is student-run but aided by Prof Jeff Hendricks, a thoughtful film buff / English teacher.

Check out the semester schedule and be aware that most of these films will make you think.

You'll notice that they are free - if only shown on week nights.

Robinson Film Center is my favorite hang out in Spt. A converted store on Texas St, it has a restaurant - Abby Singer's Bistro - with the most interesting menu in town. It is also affordable.

RFC is an art movie center that is trying to program the latest indie flics as well as classics. Check out their schedule. And check the bistro menu, s'il vous plait.
