The 34th annual, Oscar-qualifying New Orleans Film Festival (NOFF) returns November 2-7, 2023 in venues across the city!
NOFF annually brings together 150+ films and hosts 100+ filmmakers to celebrate works of emerging and established filmmakers from New Orleans, Louisiana, the South, and beyond. Audiences get a chance to meet filmmakers in person at talkback sessions after film screenings while filmmakers get to network with each other and industry professionals flying in from both costs to discover emerging talent at our Filmmakers Conference and South Pitch Programs, both of which are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted. It’s the best time of the year for film lovers who like to discover the works of storytellers first hand, and meet and talk with fellow film buffs mingling at festival venues and parties all festival long.
The majority of the lineup will also be accessible via the NOFF Virtual Cinema globally between November 2-12, 2023. Geo-restrictions may apply and some films will not screen in the Virtual Cinema at the request of the filmmaker.
We understand that the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes have impacted many, especially in our own film community. The New Orleans Film Society stands with those affected by the strike. We too have been hit in deep financial ways, hampering our capacity to champion filmmakers through our year round work and the New Orleans Film Festival.
Supporting and amplifying conversations around paying artists for their work is critical to our mission and is one of our stated organization values.
We’re optimistic that the outcome of these strikes will result in a healthier and more equitable filmmaking environment for film production and the related ecosystem of which we are a part.
The NOFS welcomes all journalist and media representatives to the festival. Apply here for NOFF2023 press accreditation.
