The Fountain Theatre in old Mesilla has been a historic venue for most of the last century. It has offered movies and more to intrepid viewers since 1905 and is still the region's best arthouse cinema. The Mesilla Valley Film Society and its volunteers have been fierce protectors of the theatre for decades and continue to offer contemporary arthouse, foreign language, and repertory film screenings. To discuss the theatre's history and screenings, Host Charles Horak welcomes Kevin Church, member of the Promotional Committee with the Mesilla Valley Film Society
