New Orleans Film Festival

This year, the New Orleans Film Festival will not only offer in-person screenings in venues throughout New Orleans (November 3–8), but online programming will be available for those who want to enjoy the fest without venturing into a theatre, as well (November 3–13). Not to mention panels, filmmaker pitches, parties, and more. 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 New Orleans Film Festival positions itself as a platform for perspectives that are underrepresented in film. 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 six days. neworleansfilmsociety.org for up-to-date information.
