Support the Magic of Film in Borrego


This holiday season, The Borrego Springs Film Institute reflects on a year of cinematic achievements—from free community screenings to their 12th Annual Film Festival


Here’s a heartfelt message from The Borrego Springs Film Institute. If you’re inspired by their work to bring the magic of film to our community, consider signing up for their updates to stay connected and support their mission.


Dear Supporter,


As we approach the end of another remarkable year at The Borrego Springs Film Institute, we want to take a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come—and what lies ahead.


This year, we hosted semi-monthly free community screenings at the Borrego Springs Performing Arts Center. We brought the movies back to Borrego! Each film is carefully selected, reflecting a variety of cultures, genres and themes; many of which have often been overlooked by mainstream media. Our goal is to foster a connection, dialogue, and appreciation for diverse cinematic storytelling. But our main event continues to be our annual film festival. This year marks our 12th festival! We are continuing to showcase incredible talent and celebrate the voices of emerging filmmakers. These events not only inspire creativity but also strengthen our community bonds.


But WE CAN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU! As we look toward next year, we aim to expand our programs, offering even more free screenings, and opportunities for aspiring filmmakers. We want to ensure that everyone, regardless of their background, has access to the magic of film.


This holiday season, we invite you to support our mission. Your donation will help us:


- Continue Free Community Screenings: Ensuring everyone can experience the power of film without financial barriers.


- Support Our Annual Film Festival: Allowing us to feature filmmakers from around the globe with diverse stories, enriching our cultural landscape.


Consider becoming a member, but keep in mind that every dollar counts, and your contribution—no matter the size—will make a meaningful difference. Together, we can keep the lights shining brightly on the art of film in our community.

Rams Hill Through Colt’s Lens There’s more to Rams Hill than stunning fairways—there are stories worth telling. One of them belongs to Luis, a third-generation employee whose early-morning routine inspired filmmaker Colt Knedler to capture something honest, quiet, and deeply local. Their short film, featured at the 2025 Borrego Springs Film Festival, gives a glimpse into the heart of a place many think they already know. Meet Colt, hear why Luis’s story mattered to him, and discover what it means to see Rams Hill through a new lens. [Read the full story →]
