LCIFF photo dump? 🎥📸 Last week, members of the New Mexico Tourism Department attended the 11th annual Las Cruces International Film Festival in Las Cruces. Each spring, the festival showcases the best in independent films across all genres, drawing audiences for five days while supporting the growth of the film industry in Southern New Mexico.

Beyond the screenings, the festival offers a robust lineup of workshops, panel discussions, and seminars, creating valuable learning opportunities for students, filmmakers, and the broader community. After welcoming a record-breaking 12,000 attendees last year, the festival surpassed that milestone again this year as it continues to grow.

The New Mexico Tourism Department proudly sponsors this event through the Tourism Event Growth and Sustainability grant program.
