Rural Route Tour:

Every year the Rural Route Film Festival takes highlights from its program and tours them around the country (and to other countries). It's a great opportunity for other communities (urban or rural) to show some of our films.

If you'd like to have the Rural Route Film Festival come to your town or hamlet, please email filmfest@ruralroutefilms.com w/TOUR REQUEST in the subject heading and contact info. in the text of your message. We do screenings at local theatres, colleges, clubs, community organization centers, libraries, arts spaces, Dutch squats, museums, and anywhere else with a wall and a screen.

****For the 4th year in a row, Rural Route will donate a portion of all 2007-8 tour proceeds to the Federation of Southern Cooperatives in their long-term recovery efforts to help low-income rural people in the Gulf affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. To make your own contribution, check out their website - www.federationsoutherncoop.com.
