10 of the very best from this year's festival of films by and about rural people and places. Includes a trashy pet alligator dramedy, experimental forest fire flicks, the story of a Lebanese beekeeper, and a daredevil Footloose remake. Come see the best shorts from the 2011 Rural Route Film Festival. The Festival, created in 2003, explores many interpretations of "rural," highlighting films that deal with people and places outside of the bustle of the city.

Alan Webber, director of the Festival, will be coming down from New York to introduce the show and take questions afterward!
