THE FESTIVAL
October 9-16, 2003
Over the past decade, NOFF has grown into a prominent vehicle for exhibitions and premieres of local, regional, national and international
independent film. Each year NOFF showcases the best new American and foreign films including premieres of major feature films and short
works all with directors, actors, screenwriters, cinematographers, film critics, and fans in attendance.
Now in our
15th
year, NOFF is a whirlwind of activity over 7 days at venues such as Landmark Theatres at Canal Place, Contemporary Arts
Center, Prytania Theatre, National D-Day Museum, Entergy IMAX Theatre at the Aquarium of the Americas, UNO Downtown Theatre, and other
sites citywide. Over 9,500 festivalgoers attend currated films and juried selections at various venues. We kick off our weeklong, citywide
festival with an annual GALA rivaling anything Hollywood can dish out.
FILM CONGRESS
October 11 & 12, 2003
Free and open to the public, the Film Congress includes panels and Mentor Sessions with industry professionals discussing the state of the
industry. Recent speakers include Godfrey Reggio (Naqoyqatsi), Peter Fonda (Easy Rider) and Mark Childress (Crazy in Alabama).
INDUSTRY AFTER HOURS
October 9 - 16, 2003
Many of NOFF attendees are up-and-coming independent filmmakers, and many are Film Industry execs scouting for new talent. They sit in
movies all day and night, leaving little opportunity for networking and socializing. We've decided to play social director by choosing some of
New Orleans top nightspots for after-hours gatherings.
IN COMPETITION: AWARDS
IN COMPETITION is the competitive arena of the New Orleans Film Festival. Each year, IN COMPETITION'S program features the top-rated
films in five categories: shorts, narrative features, documentaries, experimental works, and animations. The majority of IN COMPETITION
films do not have distribution deals, and the New Orleans Film Festival is the only opportunity for locals to see these original works. Several
IN COMPETITION selections have gone on to win Academy Awards! All entries submitted to IN COMPETITION go through a 4-month jury
process. IN COMPETITION screenings run over 7 days, with an awards night closing out our big opening weekend. IN COMPETITION offers the
top-scoring film in each category a cash prize.
