A NEW ORLEANS FILM FESTIVAL 2026 SELCTION SCREENING: 

A love letter to one of New Orleans’ great musical institutions, where traditional jazz, Creole food, and unforgettable characters filled the French Quarter until 2024.

For 35 years, the Palm Court served traditional New Orleans jazz music and creole cuisine in the French Quarter. In June 2024, the restaurant closed its doors. "Last Night at the Palm Court" tells the story of the staff, the players, and the music that made the club an international destination for fans of traditional jazz. Featuring rarely seen archival performances, contemporary interviews, and a soundtrack spanning eighty years of traditional jazz music, the film offers a glimpse into a New Orleans that no longer exists.

ABOUT THE DIRECTORS: 

Sergio Andrés Lobo-Navia and Jarret Lofstead are local New Orleans independent film workers.
