Programs

Rentals

We offer our equipment and experience to local, regional, and national presenters, in order to increase access to high-quality film exhibition.

True Orleans

Our annual documentary film festival, celebrating innovative, creative nonfiction storytelling in film, radio, and other avenues. 2015-2017.

Full Aperture

An ongoing series of personal films that intersect the worlds of avant-garde art, photography, and performance, expanding the importance and artistry of cinema.

Special screenings

Nontraditional, unique, and unforgettable presentations of films that demand more than a conventional screening room to resonate.

Education

With our regular blog, newsletter highlighting film news and local screenings, and programming notes for all films, we work to build film literacy and encourage local filmgoing habits. In 2017, we worked with Bard Early College New Orleans to host screenings for their students in conjunction with their current curriculum.
