The astonishing growth of the New Orleans Film Festival dovetails nicely with the New Orleans area's newly-revived incentives to restore its place as a major film and television production hub. And, with a commitment to ensuring that at least 50% of films are created by by female and gender non-comforming directors and 45% by directors of color, the festival positions itself as a platform for perspectives that are underrepresented in film. Categories of new films to be screened include narrative features, documentary features, Louisiana features, shorts in various categories, and more. Thousands of directors, actors, and industry professionals are expected to attend this year's festivities, with dozens of film selections to screen over the course of eight days. neworleansfilmsociety.org for up-to-date information.
