At the Esquire Theatre, we are passionate about promoting the arts in all their forms. To celebrate the art of filmmaking, we are thrilled to host the Mainstreet Short Film Festival, an event dedicated to showcasing creativity, storytelling, and the hard work of filmmakers.
We believe in the significance of filmmaking and producing, especially in supporting and highlighting the talents of local artists. However, we welcome filmmakers from around the globe to share their visions with us.
Join us as we celebrate the power of film to inspire, connect, and entertain. This is your chance to showcase your artistry, be recognized for your efforts, and contribute to the growing world of cinema.
The Esquire Theater has been refurbished and is the home of a hidden gem in East Texas: The Country Music Hayride Show!
Come experience historic downtown Carthage, and enjoy the great local restaurants and boutiques at the 5th annual Mainstreet Film Festival at The Esquire Theater in Carthage, Texas!
