The 31st Annual New Orleans Film Festival Celebrates Southern Voices

NEW ORLEANS (press release) –

The New Orleans Film Society (NOFS) announced the lineup for the 31st annual, Oscar®qualifying New Orleans Film Festival (NOFF), which will take place Nov. 6 – 22 showcasing 160+ films through NOFF Virtual Cinema available globally, and a selection of films at two screens at the NOFF Open-Air Cinema on Lafitte Greenway (between Dorgenois and Tonti Streets), and Broadside, the new outdoor venue of the Broad Theater. The festival lineup is now live and passes & tickets are available at neworleansfilmfestival.org

For 31 years, the Oscar-qualifying New Orleans Film Festival has been a labor of love, and that is true more than ever in 2020. After receiving 4655 submissions from 105 countries for the 31st anniversary of the festival, the festival’s seasoned team of programmers selected a slate of 165 films that represent a wealth of perspectives. Overall, the directors of selected films represent 44 different nationalities. This year, films made in the American South represent 45 percent, and Louisiana-made films represent 26 percent of the lineup. Films directed by women and gender non-conforming directors account for 57 percent of the lineup, and films helmed by directors of color make up 58 percent of the lineup. Additionally, the lineup boasts 36 world premieres.

“Our programming team celebrates work that, in its form and construction, offers a rebuke to conventional means of filmmaking and forges new storytelling pathways,” said New Orleans Film Society’s Artistic Director Clint Bowie. “Through this year’s lineup, we invite audiences to engage with work that addresses the social and political inequities of our collective past and present.”

NOFS Programming Manager Zandashé Brown added “We feel it’s vital to make space for Southern art. The South is our home, and we recognize that the American South and South Louisiana more specifically are sites where stories and inspiration have been thoughtlessly mined by outsiders, a harmful, extractive practice that sidelines artists with a greater connection to the region and often results in stereotyping and a lack of authentic representation in the work.”
