What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

As one of Mississippi's oldest continuously running film festivals, Crossroads has built a specific identity around supporting Mississippi and regional independent filmmakers, positioning itself as a meeting point where a filmmaker's vision finds its first audience rather than simply screening festival-circuit films from elsewhere

02

The mystery stays covered

That regional focus, combined with its home in Jackson, the state's capital and largest city, gives it a role in Mississippi's small but growing film industry that larger, more general festivals elsewhere do not fill
