The Black Film Festival of New Orleans is a multi-day event designed to celebrate independent films and filmmakers. We’re here to serve, and for us, our community of filmmakers is at the heart of what we do. We are actively building a stronger independent film community here in New Orleans while opening our arms to indie filmmakers across the diaspora.
