Oxford Film Festival Executive Director Melanie Addington said, “One of the most enjoyable and satisfactory moments we have this time of year is announcing the list of local films and filmmakers we have selected for the next edition of the Oxford Film Festival. This group of locally produced films and music videos is one of the best we’ve had to date and it will be a thrill to share it with the film fans and theater goers, as well as welcome back more than a few Mississippi filmmaking alumni returning to the fold in February.”

Written and directed by Tony Bloodworth, Forced Move is the lone feature film among the Mississippi selections.

The film will make its world premiere at Oxford, screening on Friday, February 19 at 3:30 p.m. at the Conference Center.
