The New Orleans Film Society is a nonprofit organization based in New Orleans, Louisiana, dedicated to advancing film as a medium for culture, education, and community engagement. It aims to promote, nurture, and amplify the voices of filmmakers while fostering conversations through film and related programming. The organization produces the New Orleans Film Festival, which is Oscar-qualifying and held annually, and supports year-round efforts to build a vibrant Southern film culture. Its offerings include free or low-cost screenings for members and the broader community, a longstanding French Film Festival, and professional development programs that nurture diverse and emerging filmmakers in the American South. NOFS serves audiences and filmmakers across the region, connecting Southern talent to career-advancing resources and opportunities. It also collaborates with local institutions to expand access to cinema and foster dialogue around film. In 2026, Loyola University New Orleans partnered with NOFS to host an advance screening of the Paul McCartney documentary Man on the Run, illustrating ongoing partnerships with area organizations. As a small to mid-sized nonprofit in the Movies, Videos and Sound sector, NOFS continues to expand its programming and reach within the Southern United States.
