Welcome to the New Orleans Independent Film Festival (NOIFF), where creativity meets culture in the heart of the Crescent City. Established to support and celebrate the voices of independent filmmakers, NOIFF provides a dynamic platform for innovative cinema in one of the most artistic and culturally rich cities in the world.
At NOIFF, we believe that independent films are more than just entertainment—they are a powerful means of expression that challenge perceptions, spark dialogue, and inspire change. Each year, we showcase a carefully curated selection of short and feature films from filmmakers who push the boundaries of storytelling and creativity. Whether it's a thought-provoking documentary, a bold narrative feature, or an experimental masterpiece, our festival highlights the diversity and passion that define the indie film world.
Our festival is not just about screenings—it’s about fostering a community of artists, industry professionals, and film enthusiasts. We offer a variety of workshops, masterclasses, and panels designed to nurture the next generation of filmmakers and equip them with the tools they need to succeed in a competitive industry. Networking opportunities abound, providing filmmakers with the chance to connect with peers, mentors, and potential collaborators.
