Picture
Just like the film pioneers that came before us, the mission of the Farm to Film Fest (F2F) is to engage and entertain audiences through film and to inspire thought-provoking conversation. 

Washington is the home of the historic State Theatre, the longest continuously operating movie theater in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Frank Brinton, one of the earliest exhibitors of movies and magic lantern slides in the world, was a resident of the City of Washington. He and his wife, Indiana, traveled the Midwest showcasing films to captive audiences throughout the 1890's and into the 1900's. They tested the newest technology on fascinated audiences here in Washington, inspiring our love of films starting in 1897 at the still active State Theatre. 
​
The F2F continues this rich heritage with its THIRD annual festival April 12 & 13, 2025 with films shown at the Historic State Theatre as well as other local establishments all within walking distance of eachother. Participants will enjoy a diverse array of film genres to choose from throughout the weekend. Thank you to our Board of Directors for their work in making this festival come to life! 

If you'd like to see us continue to bring this amazing weekend to Washington, please consider making a donation!
