From Oct. 23-27, New Orleanians will have special access to more than 130 top films from around the world — including 19 world premieres — that reach across every age, genre and interest. The action at the 36th annual New Orleans Film Festival will also continue off the screen at elaborate parties, workshops and meet and greets hosted at venues throughout the city. On this week’s BizTalks, New Orleans Film Society Interim Executive Director Dodd Lewis and Artistic Director Clint Bowie provide an inside scoop on the hot tickets — and how you can get one free.
