4 Days, 70+ Films, Music & Workshops
Jackson, Mississippi
If you think you know Mississippi ... think again! Jackson, Mississippi is the cultural crossroads of the south (hence the name) and is the place where all the good stuff comes together. This is where the music of delta bluesman Robert Johnson and literary innovation runs straight into the home of the international ballet competition to make a vibrant, one-of-a-kind culture full of down-home style and cinematic grace.
We are home to Tennessee Williams, Willie Morris, Eudora Welty, William Faulkner, James Earl Jones, Oprah Winfrey, Morgan Freeman, and some of the world’s greatest historians, photographers, and musicians. We are also home to some real quirky and creative folks, a little southern hospitality, fried catfish, sweet tea, and a film festival to rival the best of them. Come see us and we'll show you a great time.
The Crossroads Film Society is proud to present the 10th Annual Crossroads Film Festival.
Filmmakers from Mississippi and around the world present and compete in the categories of Feature Film, Short, Documentary, Experimental, Foreign, Student, Music Video and Animation. We offer engaging audiences for every film, daily pre- and post-screening parties, a variety of nationally recognized filmmaker workshops and panels, an awards party and more. Each afternoon kicks off with a Meet & Greet Reception for filmmakers, providing multiple opportunities to visit with filmmakers. Each evening ends with music by regional and national recording artists. Screenings begin at 7 p.m. on Thursday at Regal Parkway Place Theater (Lakeland Dr. @ Airport Rd.) and run through Sunday evening.
