JACKSON, MISS. - Filmmakers, the Crossroads Film Festival offers over $4000 dollars in prizes, accomodations for accepted filmmakers,and a four day festival experience of a lifetime including great films and workshops, mouth-watering southern food, live music, and Mississippi hospitality!
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 gets thrown together. This is where the music of delta bluesman Robert Johnson runs- straight into the home of the International Ballet Competition. Mississippi is 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're also home to some of the most charmingly quirky and creative folks you'll ever meet, fried catfish, sweet tea, and a film festival to rival the best of them. Come revel with Mississippi's creative class & be showered in Southern hospitality. There'll be Southern celebrities, afternoon soirees and nightly jukin' with live music to toast you, the filmmaker.
It's all about your story. Share it. Come see us and we'll show you a great time. Call for entries extended deadline is January 20th.
