The Loft Cinema
The Loft Cinema, purchased by the nonprofit Tucson Cinema Foundation, was transformed into an exciting cultural center for a diverse cross-section of Southern Arizona audiences. Since then, The Loft has brought in hundreds of films from an ever-expanding number of countries. An impressive number of film industry professionals have come to The Loft to talk about their work, including producers Ismail Merchant and Christine Vachon; actors Philip Seymour Hoffman and Mercedes Ruehl; directors John Cameron Mitchell, Hal Hartley and John Waters; and documentary filmmakers Kirby Dick, Jonathan Caouette and Ross McElwee. In addition to the best of the first-run independent, foreign and documentary films, programming includes a Media Literacy Project which offers free screenings for local high school students funded by a grant from the Community Foundation of Southern Arizona. The Loft has been named Best of Tucson in 2003 and 2004. Visiting filmmakers have been universally impressed and grateful for the Loft's commitment to providing a venue for great art films, both big and small.
