Little Richard: I Am Everything
Little Richard in Little Richard: I Am Everything by Lisa Cortes

The 2023 Oxford Film Festival taking place March 1-5, 2023 announced the lineup of 143 films and media projects for the 20th Anniversary annual edition.

Opening the Oxford Film Festival will be Lisa Cortes’ Little Richard: I am Everything which premiered earlier this year at Sundance Film Festival. The documentary gives a frank look at the life and career of the rock n’ roll icon who still influences music artists today as it shines a light on the Black, queer origins of rock ’n’ roll, and profiles the man behind the music.

Michael Stevantoni and Strack Azar’s Mississippi shot and produced thriller The Banality takes the Closing Night slot. Adapted from their short film of the same title, the film follows the harrowing journey of a priest as he investigates the mysterious death of “Feral Boy,” a local legend. As he gets closer to the truth, he finds parallels between this grisly incident and his own recurring nightmares.

A special screening of Colin Campbell’s silent classic The Crisis (1916), which is the earliest surviving film to have been shot in Mississippi, will mark the film’s first onscreen presentation in 100 years in Northern Mississippi. The film’s story centers on a love triangle during the Civil War between a woman and her suitors – one commited to the North and the other to the South. When one of the suitors is captured and charged with spying, the other must decide whether or not to intercede in his rival’s behalf. The screening will have live accompaniment with a special new score created specifically for the event which will be part of the Mississippi Film Commission’s 50th Anniversary celebration this year. Produced by William N. Selig, founder of the Selig Polyscope Company, the oldest film production company in the US. Some of the Selig family members are planning to be on hand for the event.

Noted for its embrace of VR and experimental films and programming during its history, the Oxford Film Festival will offer a special presentation led by Greg Brownderville and Bart Weiss as they introduce audiences to their one-of-a-kind multi-media creation, FIre Bones. A whimsical Southern Gothic shaggy dog story told in ten chapters via multiple mediums including podcasts, short films, music videos, poems, and still images. Fire Bones follows a poet and filmmaker who meet one crazy character after another as they investigate the mystery of a missing pilot and Pentecostal preacher who vanished on a transatlantic flight. Created with smartphones in mind, the project includes podcasts, short films, music videos, poems, and still images.

Another theme running throughout this year’s edition of the film festival is the commitment to local filmmakers, films shot and produced locally, and films with strong Mississippi themes. On that front, two screenings will top that effort including Merrick McCool’s Belief: The Season Ole Miss Baseball which traces the journey the Ole Miss baseball team’s recent last-to-first championship run. Michael Modak-Truran’s Faulkner: The Past Is Never Dead looks at the Nobel Prize-winning author who will be forever associated with Oxford and Mississippi.

Two seconds into the bubbling synth sounds of its theme song will have a child of the 1980s or ‘90s exclaiming “Reading Rainbow!” Such is the beloved nature of the classic children’s literary television show that introduced millions of kids to the wonder of books. Not only did the series insist on having kids speak to kids about their favorite stories, Reading Rainbow introduced the world to one of the most adored television hosts of all time, LeVar Burton.

When Andrew Bryant started writing the music for PRODIGAL, he thought it was completely about the past. It turns out the past is always with us. Bryant’s music evokes a cinematic vision of his boyhood, past friendships, family struggles, religious trauma, and Southern identity. In this hauntingly personal documentary, we see a young artist struggle with his place in time (the past and the present) and space (what it means to be an artist in the South). But we also see how processing these themes through music brings a tremendous sense of hope, relief, and joy.

Show Business Is My Life (But I Can’t Prove It) A Film about Gary Mule Deer

Comedian Gary Mule Deer’s career has always taken an oddball path. From his start in “show business” at a South Dakota brothel, performing Johnny Cash covers for the awaiting johns, to his over 350 televised performances, his career has been as strange as his comedy itself. He’s odd, he’s got crazy hair, and his metronomic timing is legendary. He’s a friend to the biggest names in comedy and music and he may just be the funniest comedian you’ve never heard of.

Silent Beauty
Director: Jasmín Mara López
Country: US, Mexico, Malta; Running Time: 87 min
When director Jasmín Mara López sees a photo of her niece with her grandfather, she is flooded by painful memories of her own childhood sexual abuse at his hands—and the following 24 years of her silence.

As she defies the cultural silence that pervades her family and confronts her abusive grandfather, who is a Baptist minister, a world of generational abuse unfolds, and she quickly discovers she is not alone.

Split At The Root
Director: Linda Goldstein Knowlton
Country: United States; Running Time: 101 min
Families separated at the border made headlines in 2018, prompting protests and policy changes.

Immigrant Families Together was born as a rapid response group committed to doing what the government couldn’t – or wouldn’t do: reunite parents with their children separated by the Zero Tolerance Policy. Over four years, IFT reunited more than 130 families.Over 2,000 children’s reunification status are still unknown and thousands of people impacted by separations are still suffering the effects of pursuing asylum.

Two Lives in Photography
Director: Thad Lee
Country: United States; Running Time: 90 min
Two Lives in Photography is a film about married photographers Maude Schulyer Clay and Langdon Clay. It It is based on their joint exhibition at the University Museum in Oxford, Mississippi and is structured by the Clays walking to key works hanging on the walls in a dance of sorts. The subjects range from the Mississippi Delta landscape to New York City in the late 1970s to cemeteries in Paris. During the course of the 90 minute walk through the galleries and both of their careers, we learn about as much about the Clays and their marriage as we do about their rich subjects.

Unrivaled
Directors: David Crews, Norman Jetmundsen
Country: United States; Running Time: 87 min
In 1899 a small college in Tennessee, the University of the South in Sewanee, had the most amazing season in college football history. They were the first team in the South to play 12 games, and the first team anywhere to travel long distances to play games. They played 12 games in six weeks and went 12-0. Only one team scored upon them. The reason they are famous, however, is that they traveled 2,500 miles by train and played 5 games in 6 days — beating Texas, Texas A&M, Tulane, LSU and Ole Miss. The team is truly Unrivaled.
