A film cafe re-opens in Downtown El Paso serving food and drinks, and cinema is on the menu as well. Aaron's and George's Film Café had to close last year due to building issues and thankfully it has just re-opened serving Cinephiles with an electing menu including film screenings. In this edition of On Film, co-owner of Aaron's and George's Film Café, Douglas Winter joins host Charles Horak to give an update on the status of the Café.
When Douglas met his partner Rebecca Munoz, during the height of the pandemic, they bonded over a love of film and storytelling, and family recipes. Rebecca, a native El Pasoan, artist and arts and cultural administrator, suggested combining all of their interests into a place where they could share good food and films with the El Paso Community. Hence, Aaron & George’s Film Cafe was born. Together, they have built this business as a homage to their grandfathers, Aaron Schwartz and George Haims, both of whom had restaurants in El Paso, Texas, and New York City.
