2024 BFFNO FESTIVAL

BFFNO is back for summer with our main event! We’re hosting independent filmmakers from all around the world including right here in New Orleans starting August 18th through September 2nd. This two week long festival will be highlighted by 8 days of in person film screenings which will be accompanied by comedy, poetry and live music performances among other entertaining activities. After our awards ceremony the festival will go virtual and you will be able to stream all the films from your homes. And best of all, our entire event is free!
