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 runs straight into the home of the
international ballet competition. We are home to
literary greats like Richard Wright, Tennessee
Williams, Willie Morris, Eudora Welty, William
Faulkner, and some of the worlds greatest historians,
photographers, and musicians....
Sam Cooke, Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker, Son House, W.
C. Handy, Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James, B. B. King,
Elvis Presley, Leontyne Price, Charlie Pride, Jimmie
Rodgers, Ike Turner, Muddy Waters, Cassandra Wilson,
Jim Henson (The Muppets), James Earl Jones, Oprah
Winfrey, Morgan Freeman, Walter Anderson, George Ohr,
Shelby Foote, and many more.
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.
