Since the birth of cinema, hundreds of filmmakers have been drawn to New Mexico's unique landscape, light and atmosphere. Kelly Cosandaey will examine the ways in which the contemporary directors Robert Redford, Lawrence Kasdan, John Carpenter and Stephen Frears each re-vision the Western in the context of New Mexico landscapes. As deputy Director of the New Mexico Film Office, Kelly managed the locations team for a twelve-year period beginning in 1987. Kelly was the book's executive editor and a contributing author. Those of us responsible for these events warmly invite you to attend.
Most events are FREE and all are open to the public.
