Mindfield Film Festival 2026: Block 5 Screening
Join us for Block 5 of the 9th Annual Mindfield Film Festival at the historic Guild Cinema in Albuquerque!
🎬 Saturday, August 29th at 1:00 PM
This screening block features seven films:
THE COURAGE KIT
CCFNM | USA
Created with young people from the Children’s Cancer Fund of New Mexico whose lives have been touched by cancer, The Courage Kit follows five participants as they open a mysterious box filled with ordinary objects that reveal extraordinary meanings.
TULIPS
Directed by Melanie Faye | USA
A woman sets out for the mountains with tulips, wine, and a hand-drawn map left behind by someone dear. As she follows the trail, the pieces of her journey and its true purpose gently fall into place.
MA PRISON
Directed by Kitty Harper | USA
A young girl grapples with the devastating loss of her mother while enduring bullying and an abusive relationship with her French teacher. As tensions escalate, she uncovers a deeper truth behind her teacher’s harsh actions, leading to an exploration of grief, empathy, anger, and complex human connections.
ONLY FOOLS
Directed by Evelyn Romo | USA
After a bad date, two fools out of love test their compatibility during a short car ride.
KENO
Directed by Riley San Nicolas | USA
Toni and Piper are raised by a single mom. When their grandmother takes them along on her usual Sunday trip to the local casino, the girls might just win a little ice cream money. Told from a child’s perspective, Keno is a subtle meditation on childhood memories.
A GOOD PLACE TO DIE - A WESTERN TRILOGY
Directed by David Biagini | USA
In New Mexico, people often settle their disputes with a gun. But some sins cannot always be forgiven, and vengeance may lead to an unexpected outcome.
NMSA - A STORY ABOUT A SCHOOL’S BECOMING
Directed by Timothy Harrier | USA
A soul-stirring documentary about the New Mexico School for the Arts, tracing its unlikely founding while capturing the charged, creative energy of student life today. Through poetry, performance, interviews, and moments from the school community, the film becomes a cinematic love letter to arts education, mentorship, and young artists finding their voice in Santa Fe.
A Filmmaker Q&A will follow the screening block.
