For about 20 years, big-budget Hollywood productions have been making their way to New Mexico. In 2006, \u201cBreaking Bad\u201d started a trend that others would follow, turning cities such as Sante Fe into a hub for film lovers who wish to celebrate and grow the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sante Fe Film Festival is a result of that. The annual event honors those working both in front of and behind the camera. The celebration highlights feature films, feature documentaries, and shorts, making them available for the public to screen. This year, there were 505 submissions, with only 160 open slots. Each carefully selected piece of work has been scheduled to screen over the course of eight days. In addition, there will be a special screening of the documentary, \u201cOne Pint at a Time,\u201d held at Nexus Brewery in Albuquerque. The location is one of the oldest Black-owned breweries in the country. The film chosen highlights several Black-owned breweries, which account for only one percent of breweries in the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among those included in the 2022 lineup is the feature documentary \u201cBill Mauldin: If It\u2019s Big, Hit It.\u201d The movie spotlights the work of WWII Infantryman turned political cartoonist Bill Mauldin. On the short documentary list, there\u2019s Santa Fe\u2019s own \u201cFuneral Queen.\u201d The film profiles the button-down professional day job of a Santa Fe funeral director, who processes residual grief as bon vivant Drag Queen, Marie Antoinette Du Barry. Shorts include \u201c2 Timers,\u201d \u201cAs de Tr\u00e8fle,\u201d \u201cBig Touch,\u201d \u201cBreathe,\u201d and \u201cCrawl\u201d \u2013 a look at how an unassuming teenager\u2019s act leads to the capture of a prolific serial killer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining the roster in the feature film department is the OBIE Award-winning, \u201cThe Tricky Part.\u201d Martin Moran\u2019s one-person show has made it to the big screen in collaboration with Emmy-nominated director Raphael Sbarge and producer Anthony Edwards. Edwards is well-known for his role as Dr. Mark Greene on the long-running TV series \u201cER.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edwards and Sbarge will be there at the 2022 SFFF on behalf of \u201cThe Tricky Part.\u201d Other celebrity guests include Michael Lombardi [\u2018Rescue Me\u2019] for \u201cThe Retaliators\u201d and Dan Castellaneta, who is best known as the voice of Homer Simpson in \u201cThe Simpsons.\u201d He and his wife, Deb Lacusta, will be there to celebrate their directorial debut for the Zoom Noir, \u201cThe Long Isolation.\u201d The Santa Fe Film Festival will include 25 feature films, 30 feature documentaries, and over 100 shorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limited seating at venues including the Cinema at the Center for Contemporary Arts, George R.R. Martin\u2019s Jean Cocteau Cinema, and Gala screenings each Saturday at the Scottish Rite is available to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
