The New Orleans Film Society is a 501(c)3 whose mission is to discover, cultivate, and amplify diverse voices of filmmakers who tell the stories of our time. We produce the Oscar®-qualifying New Orleans Film Festival annually and invest year-round in building a vibrant film culture in the South to share transformative cinematic experiences with audiences, and connect dynamic filmmakers to career-advancing resources.
New Orleans shines ever brighter as an epicenter of culture and creativity during the New Orleans Film Festival, with 500+ filmmakers from every corner of the world in attendance at 220+ films. We see our greatest impact in the exchange of ideas that occurs when over 35,000 people gather over the course of 8 days to champion film in New Orleans and engage with visionary films, directors, and other film lovers. NOFF is one of the few film festivals that is Oscar®-qualifying in all three Academy-accredited categories.
Diversity + Discovery:
Paste Magazine praised the festival for offering “a platform to voices that still fight to be heard.” We honor three vital commitments to filmmakers and to audiences hungry for fresh work with perspectives less often represented on the silver screen:

WELCOME TO MPM!
We’ve been so busy creating something special, that we forgot about one small thing… money! MOTIONPICTUREMAKER.COM is entirely self-funded, but work in the Industry has become sparse since the strikes, so we’re hoping for a little support. As MPM grows it will become a single point of information for anyone interested in motion pictures. We’ve already begun listing major festivals throughout the world, and news, reviews and tutorials about the latest technologies, but we plan to do so much more! With your help, we can bring back, and expand, our tax credits and incentives breakdown for each state, province and country, build asset libraries for content creators, and offer Industry workshops. We’d also like to expand our limited bookstore, to offer tools of the trade, with member discounts.
Please consider buying a yearly membership for just $25 USD. In return, we’ll continue to build this tremendous resource, and offer our members more discounts with our partners.
Please visit our membership page to buy a membership, or email us at admin@motionpicturemaker.com for more information.
