 Reel New Mexico at The Performance Space in Eldorado presents Mercurial Son, a portrait of Chicago blues guitarist Lurrie Bell. Shown with the film will be an award-winning animated short, The Astronomer’s Sun. The filmmakers will be present to discuss their works.
Directed by Santa Fe's Paul Marcus, Mercurial Son follows a three-year musical and personal journey of Lurrie Bell, son of famed Chicago bluesman Carrie Bell. Hailed as a musical genius, Lurrie’s career was derailed by mental illness, addiction and homelessness, until photographer Susan Greenberg entered his life. Susan and Lurrie’s deep bond and struggles to keep from imploding are the core of the film. Mercurial Son features Lurrie’s acclaimed blues guitar playing and is a testament to the raw power of blues music and the lives that live it. Marcus will discuss the film following its showing. Proceeds from the $5 suggested at the door go to meet expenses and to participating filmmakers for ongoing projects. Thursday, May 10 at 7pm |
 New Mexico is the oldest wine- producing state, with cuttings brought by the Spanish in order to provide wine for the Catholic Mass. Now, one of Santa Fe County's best wineries is poised to become the largest wine-producer in Northern New Mexico. Estrella del Norte vineyard in Nambé is expanding their 4.5 acre plantings to over 16 acres. In the last two years their business has increased by an average of over 30% per year, and last year their pinot noir won a Gold Medal at the Finger Lakes International in which 19 countries and all 50 states compete. Amazingly they sell their wine only out of the vineyard itself, which is open seven days a week for wine-tastings and sales.
