Friday, May 29 also kicks off the presentation of Oxford Film Festival\u2019s Artist Vodka<\/strong> short film programs. Audience members who tune in to see the three film programs will be able to cast votes and decide which filmmaker will get a check for $15,000. While the rest of the filmmakers will get a split of the ticket sales (continuing the film festival\u2019s pledge to share the proceeds from the weekly film fests this year) one filmmaker will become a big winner with the audience\u2019s help this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArtist Vodka continues to be such an important part of our film festival by lending a big financial hand to one of our filmmakers as they have in years past,\u201d Oxford Film Festival Executive Director Melanie Addington<\/strong> said. \u201cAnd now our audience members can take a real active part in deciding whose name will go on that big check. It adds a rooting interest to the entertainment each one of these three programs delivers in a major way. I can\u2019t wait to see who is going to win that prize.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oxford Film Festival <\/strong>was founded in 2003 to bring exciting, new, and unusual films (and the people who create them) to North Mississippi. The annual five-day festival screens short and feature-length films in both showcase and competition settings. The festival is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization.
