Submitted by Silver City Community Film Festival
After a successful launch last October, the Silver City Community Film Festival is slated to present twice as many independent, regionally produced films as last year. The selections were culled from nearly four times as many submissions.
According to Festival Director Kim Ryan, organizers were confident last year's inaugural event would draw out a lot of hidden cinematic talent but they were "pleasantly surprised" that, in its first year, they were able to fill three days with original, locally-made content.
The Fort Bayard Historic Preservation Society is pleased to announce its fall film series, entitled "Classic Whodunits from the Golden Age of Movies, 1941-1971", which will run every Thursday evening from September 4th through November 20th. The movies will be screened at the Santa Clara Armory located at 19990 US Highway 180, next to Open Space Brewery. Doors open at 6 pm with showings starting at 6:30. Admission is free, and donations are welcome. Concessions are available at nominal cost. For more information, visit the organization's website at www.historicfortbayard.org.
