The Stone Center for Latin American Studies (SCLAS) and The Cuban and Caribbean Studies Institute (CCSI) at Tulane University will again sponsor several films in this year's New Orleans Film Festival. We are excited to support a diverse mix of films, including several narrative features, documentaries, and experimental shorts. In addition, CCSI director Dr. Ana López will lead a series of Q&A's with select directors.

"The Past is a Foreign Country" and "Landscape Fever" are Spanish-language short films directed by Gabrielle Garcia Steib, sponsored by the Stone Center for Latin American Studies. 

Via New Orleans Film Festival website:

"The Past is a Foreign Country" addresses the past as an idea of which we have control, particularly to discuss the intersection of communities in New Orleans with those in Latin America".

"Landscape Fever" is a short film that addresses the narrative of a Honduran immigrant corroded by violence upon her path migrating to New Orleans. Using archival footage filmed along the U.S. / Mexican border, and sound designed by Udit Duseja merged with field recordings- the viewer may step into the world of a traumatic yet common experience that occurs among the borderlands."

Individual passes are not available for short films. However, the NOFF offers a "Virtual Shorts Pass" for $55.00 that allows access to all short films. This pass can be purchased "here":https://neworleansfilmsociety.org/how-to-fest/
