BigMuddyFilmFest

The Big Muddy Film Festival is one of the longest running student organized film festivals in the world. We want the Big Muddy Film Festival to be a platform for filmmakers to express themselves in ways they wish to be seen. The festival occurs annually within Carbondale, Illinois, which is situated within the watershed of the Big Muddy River and a region known for the beautiful Shawnee National Forest. The program is juried by artists or critics of national and international recognition. Past Jurors have included Barbara Hammer, Naomi Uman, Jim Jarmusch, Kerry Laitala, James Benning, Tomonari Nishikawa, Anna Margarita Albelo, Ben Kalina, and Alrick Brown.
