In addition to our 10th annual Loft Film Fest, we have incredible first-run films, many destined to make Top-Ten lists and get award nominations. These include (but are not limited to) Almodovar’s Pain and Glory, Bong Joon-Ho’s Parasite and Scorsese’s The Irishman. The Loft Film Fest will offer even more high profile films, includingThe Two Popes (the Loft Film Fest program begins on page 24). One meaningful aspect of the fest is that it gives us the opportunity to program excellent films we might not otherwise get to screen and that you, our valued patrons, might not otherwise see. We continue the tradition of having half (or more) of the festival films directed by women, and the curated program of 46 films is a rich menu of stories and storytellers from the US and around the world. We have amazing guests who bring a breadth of film industry experience to share with audiences. We have six films submitted by their country of origin for a nomination for the Oscar® for Best International Film. The slate of films range from traditional to experimental, from established and emerging filmmakers, and, I promise, films that will surprise you. In our tenth year, the Loft Film Fest is looking to the future with our first Virtual Reality experience, Traveling While Black, an award winning VR production that debuted at Sundance in January. We once again welcome a jury for the International Confederation of Art Cinemas (CICAE) to the Loft Film Fest, who have the difficult task of selecting, from a slate of 8 films , the winner of the CICAE Art Cinema award. We encourage you to devour the program, select films that sound good to you and try to see at least one that sounds like it might be a little outside your comfort zone. Use the Loft Film Fest as an opportunity to discover, and ENJOY! Peggy Johnson, Executive Director The Loft Cinema is a local nonprofit dedicated to creating community by celebrating the art and diversity of film.

One of the most controversial and influential American figures of the 20th Century, Roy Cohn was a ruthless and unscrupulous lawyer and political power broker whose 28-year career ranged from acting as chief counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy’s Communist- hunting subcommittee to molding the career of a young Queens real estate developer named Donald Trump. Cohn formulated his playbook in the ‘50s, but it is all too familiar today: always attack; never admit blame or apologize; use favors and fear to ensure support for your objectives; expertly manipulate the media to gain advantage and destroy your opponents; lie shamelessly, invalidating the idea of truth; weaponize lawsuits; evade taxes and bills; and, most importantly, inflame the prejudices of the crowd by STARTS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25 scapegoating defenseless people.
