OXFORD ⢠The 2021 Oxford Film Festival has announced an ambitious approach to the 18th annual edition of the popular film festival, which will take place in an open-air outdoor theater, drive-in and include virtual presentations as well.
The premiere-rich schedule projects close to 30 world premieres, five U.S. premieres, more than 60 Mississippi premieres, and 40 regional premieres.
On March 24-28, screenings will be held in a specially designed open air Malco Commons Outdoor Theater and Oxford Film Festivalâs two drive-in locations. From April 1-30, Virtual Cinema screenings will be offered via Eventive.
âIn a year of crisis, we were reminded that one thing remains constant,â said Melanie Addington, Oxford Film Festival executive director, âMovies bring us together, bring out our shared humanity, help us navigate sorrow, joy, love, trauma, remind us to laugh, and keeps us occupied while sheltering at home. The selection made by the programmers this year was one recognizing exactly that.
