Museo de Alameda features -Santo, El Enmascarado de Plata

Movies at the Museo!
This fall the Museo Alameda is proud to present a fall film series that will explore the rich cinematic traditions of Mexico. Film not only offers a dynamic medium through which to experience the Mexico at the Museo exhibition, but it also draws upon the historical legacy of the Alameda theater.


For decades the theater served as a unique venue for arts and culture, featuring some of the greatest Mexican actors and singers of the day. This fall, the Museo hopes to recapture some of the excitement of those days by showing films from the golden age of Mexican cinema, including films by Mexican legends, such as Pedro Infante and Maria Felix. The film series will also explore other film genres including documentaries, performance videos and experimental films.

The series kicks off on September 13th with a screening of the 1975 Mexican horror classic, Santo en la venganza de las mujeres vampiro. Join us again of Saturday September 27th to screen Fando y Lis, the experimental film by Alejandro Jodorowsky, which literally caused a riot at the 1968 Acapulco film festival.
