Free Screening at BSPAC Borrego Springs Film Institute received BVEF funding and announced a free April 8, 2026 screening of One Battle After Another at BSPAC. The Borrego Springs Film Institute announced that its first free community screening of 2026 will be One Battle After Another, the 2026 Oscar winner for Best Picture. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Benicio del Toro, and portions of it were filmed in Borrego Springs in May 2025. The announcement came during the Borrego Valley Endowment Fund Grant Awards Luncheon on March 18, 2026, at Coyote Steakhouse at The Palms at Indianhead . During the event, BVEF presented funding for the Borrego Springs Film Institute’s free community screenings program , which offers no-cost film experiences for the community. This is the second year the Endowment Fund has supported the popular program. As temperatures rise in Borrego Springs, the free screenings become more than a movie night. They create a cool indoor gathering place where friends and families can enjoy an evening out together. Leslie Bosson and Fred Jee accepted the grant on behalf of the Borrego Springs Film Institute at the BVEF grant event. The free screening of One Battle After Another is scheduled for Wednesday, April 8, 2026, at 7 p.m. at BSPAC . Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
