New Orleans Film Festival Community Partnership Program

The New Orleans Film Festival (NOFF) Community Partnership Program aims to provide accessible and inclusive festival programming to under-served communities in New Orleans. With generous support from The Helis Foundation, we offer no-cost and discounted in-person and virtual access to our festival events for individuals and organizations facing financial or other barriers to arts programming. This initiative fosters connections between our audience and the incredible work of local arts and cultural organizations.

As a NOFF Community Partner, we kindly request your support in promoting the festival as a whole or specific films that align with your work and mission through your communication channels (e.g., emails, social media, and word of mouth).

In exchange, we provide our Community Partners with:

  • A NOFF media kit for promotional purposes
  • Free and discounted tickets to distribute
  • Recognition for their partnership
  • Opportunity to use space in our festival hub to showcase their work and organization
  • Opportunity to cross-promote for social media marketing

Through this program, we strive to break down accessibility barriers and celebrate the rich cultural tapestry of our community. To learn more about our Community Partner Program, or to sign up as a partner, contact  brian@neworleansfilmsociety.org. Applications are still open for NOFF 2026!

Thank you to our NOFF 2026 Community Partners! Applications are still open – join us!
