Description

The Rural Route Film Festival has been created to highlight works by and about rural people and places.

While the term "rural" is defined by Webster's Dictionary as:
1) Of or relating to the country: RUSTIC
2) Of or relating to people who live in the country
3) Of or relating to farming: AGRICULTURAL,
the creators of Rural Route Film Festival leave it up to you, the film and video artist, to explain your own definition of "rural."

Whether it be a documentary about an organic turnip farm in West Virginia, a fictional backpacking drama set in Peru, or a personal/experimental work about life in small town Wisconsin, we want to see and hear what you have to say.

Works that include alternative country, country western, and folk music are encouraged.

The festival takes place each July in New York City. Submission deadlines are in January (EARLY) and March (LATE). Please visit our website for more details.
