16th Plaza Classic Film Festival

/
Plaza Classic Film Festival

The Plaza Classic Film Festival celebrates its 16th year. It will run from July 20th to July 30th in and around the Plaza Theatre. Joining host Charles Horak is Doug Pullen, program director of the El Paso Community Foundation to discuss this year's films and special guests.

"The Plaza Classic Film Festival, which goes into its 16th year July 20-30, 2023, was started by the El Paso Community Foundation in 2008 as a special project to bring movies back to the historic Plaza Theatre. The Community Foundation purchased 35mm and state-of-the-art 2K digital projection equipment (upgraded to 4K in 2018) for the atmospheric theater, which opened in 1930, closed in the early ’80s, and was restored for $38 million in 2006 in a joint partnership between the City of El Paso and the Community Foundation."
