This Women’s History Month, we honor Mary Jane Coleman, founder of the Sinking Creek Film Celebration, the festival that would become the Nashville Film Festival. In 1969, she created a platform for independent filmmakers whose voices weren’t being seen or heard, and provided key leadership and support for the festival for more than 20 years.

“I have no time to promote Hollywood films,” she told the Greeneville Sun in 1987. “Independents use film as an artistic tool, and express themselves in their films... There was no festival in the South for independent filmmakers, so I decided to try to do one.”

A visionary leader and arts advocate, Coleman founded the Greeneville Arts Guild (later the Greeneville Arts Council) and was a founding member of the Tennessee Arts Commission.

Her dedication and vision laid the foundation for generations of filmmakers and artists to tell their stories, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to inspire the Nashville Film Festival and the independent film community today.
