The story

Oxford Film Festival in Oxford

Oxford Film Festival is an annual independent film festival held in Oxford, Mississippi, screening a juried selection of features, documentaries, and short films submitted through FilmFreeway. The festival awards official selections and honorable mentions each year and draws on Oxford's literary and university-town cultural identity.

Oxford, Mississippi, carries a literary weight disproportionate to its size, shaped by its identity as the hometown of William Faulkner and its ongoing role as a hub for Southern writers and independent bookstores, and Oxford Film Festival extends that creative reputation into cinema, giving the university town an annual event dedicated specifically to independent film.

What is special

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered

The festival's juried official selections and honorable mentions structure gives filmmakers a recognized competitive credential, drawing submissions from a wide range of independent filmmakers seeking exposure in a smaller but culturally significant market
