The New Orleans Film Festival (NOFF) Community Partnership Program is designed as one of several ways NOFS offers no-cost and discounted in-person and virtual access to NOFF programming to communities in New Orleans who have income-based or other barriers to accessing arts programming. It also provides a way for us to foster connections for our audience with the great work of our local arts and cultural organizations.

As a NOFF Community Partner, we ask you to promote NOFF as a whole, or specific film(s) that resonate with your work and mission, to your email list and social media networks.

We provide our Community Partners with a NOFF media kit, free and discounted tickets to share, recognition for their partnership, and space to provide information about their work and organization.

Thank you to The Helis Foundation for their generous support for our NOFF2022 Community Partnership Program.
