Santa Fe based film writer and New Mexico film historian Jeff Berg will be in Gallup to present a special edition of his traveling road show 'Made in New Mexico' film clip series.
This approximately 100 minute screening contains clips from westerns and non-westerns alike, most of which have been shot at least in part in the Gallup area from 1898-1978.
Berg has compiled film clips from about 15 different movies, most of which were made during Gallup's heyday as the movie-making paradise of New Mexico.
After each short film clip is shown, Berg will do live narration, offering tidbits about the movie, such as stars, any historical references, and sometimes even if it is worth your time to see the entire movie that the clip is from. Audience participation is strongly encouraged and there is plenty of variety contained in the clips. Although the show is family friendly, young children probably would not be interested in the event.
At various times over the years, movie locations around Gallup have been used to recreate the Sudan, El Paso, several Civil War era battles, and even a place for a super hero to rescue a fair maiden.
