The
10th Annual Crossroads Film Festival
April 2-5, 2009
4 Days, 70+ Films, Music & Workshops
Regal Parkway Place Theatre, Jackson, MS
If
you think you know Mississippi ... think again! Jackson, Mississippi is the
cultural crossroads of the south (hence the name - Crossroads Film Festival)
and is the place where all the good stuff gets thrown 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-homestyle 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
will show you a great time.
The
Crossroads Film Society presents the 10th Annual Crossroads Film Festival.
Filmmakers from Mississippi and around the world present and compete in the
