About the organization
The New Orleans Film Society (NOFS) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1989 with the mission to cultivate and promote the art of film in Louisiana and beyond. Best known for producing the Academy Award-qualifying New Orleans Film Festival, NOFS has grown into a vital hub for independent cinema in the South, supporting filmmakers through year-round screenings, educational programs, and industry initiatives. Its South Pitch competition, a cornerstone of the festival's industry programming, offers selected filmmakers a platform to present works-in-progress to a panel of industry experts, fostering project advancement and professional connections.
