A group of Washington citizens is organizing the city’s first international film festival, Farm to Film (F2F), which will be held May 20th-21st in 2023. Group organizers say that the mission of F2F is to engage and entertain audiences through film and to inspire thought-proving conversation. The inaugural festival will have films shown at various venues within walking distance of the downtown square. Participants can choose from a diverse array of film genres throughout the weekend.

The categories for the festival include feature documentary (40 minutes in length), short documentary, narrative feature (40 minutes in length), narrative short film, animated, experimental, student, Women & Minority, and Iowa Made. Awards will be given for each category, and films will be accepted until February 2nd. Entries will be limited to 200 films.
