Films on the Green 2026 | Marfa
This year, Films on the Green arrives in Marfa for the first time, with four evenings of open-air film screenings set against the striking landscapes of the West Texas desert. Under the stars and surrounded by Marfa’s singular atmosphere, the series will offer a unique cinematic experience celebrating French-American cinematic collaborations.
For this first edition in the desert, the lineup includes Jean-Luc Godard’s French New Wave tech noir film Alphaville (1965), Louis Malle’s crime thriller tragedy film Elevator to the Gallows (Ascenseur pour l’échafaud, 1958), Raoul Peck’s historical documentary I am Not Your Negro (2016), and Quentin Dupieux’s surreal comedy-drama film Reality (Réalité, 2014),
This event is free and open to the public.
