The National Endowment of the Arts has awarded a $15,000 NEA Art Works grant to the New Orleans Film Society to help support next year's 24th annual New Orleans Film Festival as well as the society's year-round screenings. The film society was among 832 nonprofits nationwide to receive grants through the Art Works program.
"We are incredibly honored to receive this support from such a prestigious organization," film society executive director Jolene Pinder said in a news release. "Our festival has grown tremendously in the last three years. This support from the National Endowment for the Arts will only help us continue to grow and in turn support more filmmakers from Louisiana and beyond."
