Movies in the Mountains
Frank Cullen, co-founder of The American Vaudeville Museum and renowned film historian leads a monthly discussion and viewing of films he identifies as integral to the history and development of American and International film-making. The 2023 Film Festival will be strictly comedy, showing at 12:00 p.m. on the 3rd Saturday of every month. Please call 505-281-8508 for information about this delightful experience with film.

March 30 is "The Only Plane In The Sky" by Garrett M. Graff
Over the past eighteen years, one perspective on 9-1-1 has been missing --a 360-degree account of the day told through the voices of the people who experienced it. In The Only Plane in the Sky tells the story of the day as it was lived--in the words of those who lived it. Drawing on never-before-published transcripts, recently declassified documents, original interviews, and oral histories from nearly five hundred government officials, first responders, witnesses, survivors, friends, and family members, Graff paints the most vivid and human portrait of the September 11 attacks yet.
Right Box
