Grab your popcorn and find a good seat! The 2024 ESSENCE Film Festival is coming to New Orleans July 5 -7.

Taking place in the Convention Center during the 2024 ESSENCE Festival of Culture, the ESSENCE Film Festival will celebrate creatives across Black America and the African diaspora and expose filmmakers, actors, and content creators to audiences seeking to discover new voices and perspectives in entertainment.

Each day will highlight innovative narrative forms ranging from film and television projects to music and audio presentations, including competitive categories for original motion pictures, nonfiction feature films, social impact stories, short films, independent pilots, and animation/tech-driven narratives.

In addition to the daily film and podcast competitions, the Festival will feature daily symposiums, workshops, panel discussions and other activations featuring some of Hollywood’s hottest talent from both in front of and behind the lens. Catch Ava DuVernay discussing her critically acclaimed film Origin, an insightful session with multihyphenate actor and film creator Aml Ameen, and a comedy chat with actress and screenwriter Danielle Pinnock.

Take a look at just a few of the scheduled sessions taking place at this year’s ESSENCE Film Festival::

TELLING OUR STORIES, PERIODListen to directors, producers, and performers who have beautifully and accurately recreated Black stories of times gone by — and provided unique POVs and perspectives of our history.

MY TRUTH IS MINE, AND IT’S FUNNYCan comics be funny while also telling their truth? Hear from these panelists who star in some of the biggest Hollywood projects, have side-splitting comedy specials, and keep us laughing with content they’ve created based on moments in their own lives and experiences.
