The Fountain Theatre in Old Mesilla may be over a century old, but its film programming is the most vital and up to date in any film theatre in the borderland. The historic adobe Fountain Theatre is home to the Mesilla Valley Film Society and its group of volunteers and members continue to sustain the area's only arthouse cinema. In this edition of On Film, host Charles Horak welcomes once again Carol McCall, Program Director for the Mesilla Valley Film Society to discuss the Theatre's upcoming screenings and special events.
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 theater for decades and continue to offer contemporary arthouse, foreign language, and repertory film screenings.
