Oxford Film Festival

Named in Smithsonian Mag

No Comments 17 April 2012

Be part of what the Smithsonian calls one of the top reasons Oxford, Mississippi is one of the best small towns in America. In their April 2012 issue, Smithsonian magazine announced Oxford as #20 in the country part in due to the conferences that bring the arts to the forefront.

“Two annual conferences, the spring Oxford Conference for the Book and July’s Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference, bring even more writers to town. The other arts are far from neglected; the Oxford Film and Music Festivals in February, plus the town’s proximity to Memphis and Nashville, keep Oxford on the circuit for popular and cutting-edge productions and performers.”
It takes sponsors like you to be part of the film and music festivals each February. As we enter our 10th year, we want the chance to bring you even greater films and greater artists. We can only do that with your help. Please consider sponsoring the festival at any level.
