Sponsoring Society
The Crossroads Film Society sponsors year-round films, filmmaker workshops, and the annual Crossroads Film Festival. The Crossroads Film Society is a multi-cultural, 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing access to international, national, and local film and video. They also encourage discussion and production for film and video, particularly as related to the cultural, educational and economic vitality of the state and region. The society’s objectives are met through year-round programming, including special film events, lectures, workshops, and the annual Festival.
The mission of the Crossroads Film Society is to celebrate the art of filmmaking in all of its diversity and depth. The Crossroads Film Society will facilitate and promote a broader spectrum of film and video for the community, will present and honor films and videos related to Mississippi and the South, and will provide educational opportunities and facilitate general discussions for film lovers and aspiring film makers. The long-term goal of Crossroads is to build and maintain a theater facility in the city of Jackson, in order to better facilitate year-round cinematic events.
The Society provides more than just films to watch. At nearly every event, film fans have the opportunity to meet many of the filmmakers and discuss the filmmaking process as well as participate in a free screenwriting, story-board, acting and other filmmaking workshops. Even the youngest fans will get a chance to learn about the filmmaking process.
