History of Film in New Mexico

New Mexico’s history in film extends back to the early 20th century. In 1898, the Edison Company shot a 50 second film titled “Indian Day School”, which depicted a line of Native American children following their teacher out of a school house and back in again. This was one of the first documentary-type films made in the United States, the first film made in New Mexico and one of the very first ever to be shot in the West.
