The Santa Fe International Film Festival may have a global reach, but its impact for New Mexico filmmakers and talent can make a world of difference locally. Driven by a love of independent film, siblings Jacques Paisner and Liesette Bailey founded what was then known as the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival (SFIFF) in 2009, hosting screenings at a local center for underserved youth and a local coffee shop. Since then, the annual festival has grown to six movie-filled days (October 15–20) across five theaters that draws up to 150,000 attendees.

From powerful Indigenous documentaries to borderland thrillers, the Santa Fe International Film Festival celebrates the best of New Mexico filmmaking.

Covering just these 10 miles in the 3.3-million-acre Gila National Forest leaves so many wonders unexplored. Even getting to know the 558,014-acre Gila Wilderness contained within the national forest would take a lifetime. But a sense of appreciation for its existence and wonder at nature’s perfect complexity can grow in a much shorter time.

As the Gila National Wilderness celebrates its 100th anniversary, we set out to explore the wonders of this special place, dig into its past, and meet some of the people who care for it.

Aztec perches on a corner of the same Colorado Plateau that’s made southern Utah an outdoor recreation magnet. But it draws a fraction of those crowds for trips that can blend tricky mountain-bike rides and arch hunting with doses of ancient sites, including petroglyphs and dwellings scattered over the canyons spiraling away from town. This underappreciated outdoors town lets its rich history shine throughout downtown, which manages to preserve the quaint feel of brick-lined, quiet streets while infusing energy through new businesses, restaurants, and amenities, including a newly renovated splash pad at Minium Park.

Ride, hike, or roam through sandstone arches and centuries of history in this adventure-rich Four Corners town.
