New Orleans Film Festival

Now in its 34th year, the New Orleans Film Festival, November 2-12, 2023, has grown into an internationally respected annual in-person and virtual event that attracts 30,000+ people, 500+ filmmakers, and typically showcases over 250 films. It is one of the few film festivals that is Oscar-qualifying in all three Academy-accredited categories: Narrative Short, Documentary Short, and Animated Short — and it’s been recognized by MovieMaker Magazine as one of the " Top 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World" as well as one of the “Top 50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee” every year since 2012 (one of only two festivals to receive that recognition for six straight years).
