The Albuquerque Film + Music Experience is back for its 13th iteration and this year鈥檚 event features five days of films, a concert series and center stage conversations featuring industry panelists.

Executive Director Kira Sipler finds the festival is important in its support of filmmakers in New Mexico.

鈥淓verybody needs a voice. Students need a voice,鈥 Sipler said. 鈥淣ew Mexico is a strong film industry, and we have so much to offer to support films that are made here.鈥

Landon Ashworth is the director of 鈥淕o On,鈥 one of the 71 films featured this year. The film follows a man in purgatory, and Ashworth said he made 鈥淕o On鈥 in honor of his late cousin. The festival gives him a chance to share something deeply personal, he said.

鈥淚ndependent filmmaking can feel like you鈥檙e shouting into the void sometimes, so when a festival says, 鈥榃e hear you, we see your work,鈥 it鈥檚 a moment of validation,鈥 Ashworth wrote in an email.

AFMX will feature several New Mexico filmmakers, Sipler said.

鈥淲e love that we can bring all the New Mexico filmmakers together at once, same thing for Indigenous (filmmakers), that鈥檚 an important voice to amplify,鈥 Sipler said.

Ashworth鈥檚 film is set in New Mexico, and he wanted to be part of the festival because of his connection to the state. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a festival that celebrates both craft and community,鈥 he said.

He said filming in New Mexico became part of his film鈥檚 soul.

鈥淣ew Mexico has a raw, cinematic beauty that you can鈥檛 fake on a soundstage,鈥 Ashworth wrote. 鈥淭he landscapes hold a kind of spiritual weight 鈥 vast skies, shifting light, quiet spaces where characters can feel both lost and found.鈥

Sipler said the Albuquerque Film + Music Experience fills a gap for filmmakers and musicians who need a sense of community.

鈥淲e love to bring our local community together,鈥 Sipler said. 鈥淣ew Mexico film block always sells out because all the filmmakers come together, and it鈥檚 like one big party.鈥

AFMX doubled the number of panels this year and includes a Q&A session after a special screening of 鈥淭he Musicians鈥 Green Book,鈥 created by Josephine Beavers and Ed Vodicka.

Vodicka said he is excited to share the film because festivals like this are about exposure. 鈥淚t鈥檚 about getting people鈥檚 eyeballs on it鈥 and letting audiences interact with them as film creators, he said.

Beavers wanted the film to be something people walked out of smiling.

鈥淲e鈥檙e just excited to share this film with everyone, because it鈥檚 a beautiful love story 鈥︹ Beavers said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 educational, it鈥檚 historical and it鈥檚 entertaining, but it does carry a message.鈥

The film鈥檚 creators are excited about the Q&A portion.

鈥淚 think it鈥檚 going to be interesting for us, because every audience is different,鈥 Vodicka said. 鈥淓very city has its own vibe.鈥

Ashworth said AFMX and festivals like it are a rare place where you can 鈥渨atch something together, and then unpack it in real time.鈥

He likes to hear what resonates, lingers and challenges people, he said.

鈥淭hat exchange is where cinema becomes alive,鈥 Ashworth said.
