The Oxford Film Festival Starts Wednesday

I am being bad in regard to the Oxford Film Festival. I say this because of life I am not going to be doing a full deep dive. This breaks my heart because I love this festival. I’ve made several friends because of my covering the festival. Hell I keep having the programmers twist my arm in the hope of getting down there. It started with my first festival when someone I had just met the via email and tried to get get me to jump on a plane and fly down.  As a result of the festival  I’ve been subjected to too many great films to count.

Make no mistake this is a kick ass festival. This is one of the best places to see great films. It's a place where you can just walk into any theater and no look at what they are screening and know you are more likely than not see a film that is going to delight you.

I wish I had more time to cover it, but I can't do it this year.

On the other hand I’ve already seen a good number of the features. So far I’ve seen:

BODY PARTS

BUTTERFLY IN THE SKY

COUNTRY GOLD

DUSTY & STONES

EVERYBODY GOES TO THE HOSPITAL

ONCE UPON A TIME IN UGANDA

SILENT BEAUTY

SPLIT AT THE ROOT

FINDING HER BEAT

SHOW BUSINESS IS MY LIFE

Additionally I’ve seen the opening night film LITTLE RICHARD I AM ALL THINGS. It’s a fantastic film that is full of great music and stories and gets to the heart of the man himself in a way I’ve never seen before.

If you are near Oxford Mississippi go. Just buy tickets and go.
