Relive the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema with free outdoor movie screenings at Main Plaza every Monday in May.
The movies are free and open to the public, with the added treat of free popcorn from the Plaza Cafe.
Conservancy Executive Director Molly Hall-Villarreal pointed out that San Antonians would have gone to see these films at the nearby Alameda and Aztec theaters during their heyday, and that bringing them back downtown will honor that facet of local history. “We want to highlight this amazing period and cinema that maybe some locals and visitors alike don’t really know that well,” Hall-Villarreal said. “It’s a really deep part of San Antonio that we don’t get to see very much anymore.”
The idea came from board member Gini Garcia, who recalled that her parents met on a downtown plaza in Monterrey, Mexico, when such gathering spots were the center of city social life. Garcia said she wanted to activate the plaza with authentic San Antonio experiences.
