Crossroads Film
Festival "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....
"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."
Cucalorus Film Festival
Wilmington, NC, End of March. "Beginning with a magical
event in the fall of 1994, Cucalorus has established itself as
one of the few truly independent film festivals in the world,
serving the needs of filmmakers before the interests of
corporate sponsors or the studios. Praise has come from many
places for our renegade style and grassroots approach to
festival making. MovieMaker magazine dubbed the festival "the
best kept secret on the indie fest circuit" in 2003 and went on
to list the festival as one of the "20 Film Festivals Worth the
Entry Fee" the following year. Despite having the window
dressing of a formal business, Cucalorus maintains a rebel
style, mirroring the world of independent and underground
filmmaking."

Sundance Film
Festival
"Im on a budget. Whats the best way
to have a great Festival experience on the cheap?"
"Did you know that
tickets to individual screenings are only $10?
Considering that its about the same price to see a
movie at your local multiplex and that every Festival
film is followed by a Q&A with the director (and often
members of the cast), thats a pretty good deal!"
More "inside
insights" into how to get the best Sundance experience
possible
click here. (Like if Park City is too
pricey... commute from Salt Lake City which is just 45
minutes away.)
Hint: bid on a
hotel at SLC at
Priceline.com. You can often get hotels
for as little as 75% off advertised price.
