The event began in 2003, and through 2008-2009 Webber traveled around all the seven continents presenting the festival and its fi lms. This year’s anniversary celebrations will start on Friday, Aug. 8, and go on until Sunday, Aug. 10, at the Museum of the Moving Image, located at 36-01 35th Ave. One of the themes for the festival this year, which will showcase fi ve features and 11 short fi lms, is the ancient pagan cultures of Eastern Europe. Films include those from Ukraine, Russia, Slovenia, Hungary, Somaliland, the United Kingdom and United States. “I’m so proud the festival has been going this long,” Webber said. “Our 10th annual is not what I would’ve originally expected, with a wild sort of pagan theme, but the content is even better, and so much fun that I can’t wait to take it in myself.” Select screenings will also be accompanied by appearances from fi lmmakers and live music. For more information and a full schedule of the entire screenings, visit www.ruralroutefi lms.com. “Alan Webber has put together a truly dazzling and spectacular program of fi lms for the 10th edition of the Rural Route Film Festival,” said David Schwartz, chief curator at the Museum of the Moving Image. “The selection of new and classic fi lms and music will truly transport the audience.” NEED A GETAWAY?
