Magnolia Independent Film Festival

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Magnolia Independent Film Festival or The Mag, a film festival based in Mississippi, was founded by Ron Tibbett ^[1] in 1997 in West Point, Mississippi. Three years later it was moved to Starkville.

The Festival takes place in February. Films are juried during the year and judged at the Festival's conclusion, with awards given. The categories include short films, drama, comedy, experimental, full-length, and documentary films. ^[2]

Filmmakers are invited to town, taken to and from the airport and housed at no charge at the Old Waverly Golf Course villas in West Point. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and additional celebrations are held in their honor throughout the weekend.
