DESCRIPTION:One of the earliest examples of the so-called Acid Western\, an
 d perhaps the first feature film ever shot in Las Cruces\, *The Devil’s 
 Mistress* is an almost surreal story of robbery\, racism\, rape\, and supe
 rnatural revenge in the American West. After four outlaws kill a man who w
 elcomed them into his cabin\, and then take his widow with them\, the fun 
 really begins\, giving heft to the expression “Hell to pay.” The short
  (66 minutes) and rarely seen film has been resurrected by filmmaker Julia
  Smith\, who will also show a selection from her documentary\, *Birth of t
 he Acid Western*\, which grew out of the discovery of a largely unexamined
  film archive\, and follows Smith’s exploration of Wanzer’s filmmaking
  legacy and the vibrant culture of student media production he helped fost
 er at New Mexico State University. — *Craig Holden*
