It may come as a surprise that the world's oldest continuously operating cinema is in rural Iowa, but the people of Washington take pride in their city's long history with motion pictures. Now, a new film festival is celebrating that history, while paving the way for filmmakers of the future. Farm to Film Fest kicks off this weekend and features 36 films from across the state, country and world.
