A Day in Santa Fe

James Hughes, Lynn Riggs

“Riggs’s film poem conveys delight with his adopted hometown through a documentarian’s eye for significant detail, a lyrical sensitivity, and homespun humor. The film, too, serves as a chronicle of people and places of Santa Fe in the early 1930s, when it earned the epithet ‘Greenwich Village of the West.’” - William M. Butler
