Borrego Springs is at The Movies!!

You say movies? We say Borrego Springs!

2024 has been quite a year for film in Borrego! This summer, we saw a major Hollywood motion picture shooting here, with multiple A-list actors, but more importantly, we celebrated the 11th year of the BSFF!

If that’s not exciting enough, our parent organization, the Borrego Springs Film Institute (BSFI), has begun presenting movies at the Borrego Springs Performing Arts Center (BSPAC), free of charge, every other Wednesday night to enthusiastic audiences. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and we plan to continue the bi-weekly free movie program in the coming year!

But now we’re gearing up for the Twelfth Annual Borrego Springs Film Festival! Featuring five days of exceptional independent films, community panels at the Borrego Springs Library, not to mention top-notch parties, galas and award ceremonies with attending filmmakers and festival pass-holders; the 12th BSFF opens on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, with a day of free screenings - no tickets necessary - at the Library, and continues Thursday through Sunday, with screening Blocks presented at BSPAC, and concluding with an Awards Ceremony at the theater, on Sunday evening, January 19, 2025.

The full Film Festival schedule is now posted on our website: borregospringsfilmfestival.org.

All Festival Passes and Block Passes will be available on the website, December 15th through the start of the event. So, mark your calendars for a fun-filled long weekend of film, panels, and parties in January, and we’ll see you at the movies!
