Our #1 film of the year, by a very wide margin, was Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice. As of this moment the film is still playing, and is currently our fourth-highest-attended film since becoming a nonprofit in 2002. Wherever it ends up in our all-time top films, it has been so gratifying to play this film in Tucson, where Linda is such an important figure, and have Tucsonans respond with such passion. 2020 will kick off with a bang, as Program Director Jeff Yanc and I head off to Park City for the Sundance Film Festival, always a bellwether for where the year in independent film is headed. Then on January 13th, Oscar fever overtakes The Loft Cinema as the Academy Award nominations are announced. For the first time, we’ve held a number of spots open to play some of the nominated films which we haven’t yet had the chance to play; details will emerge after the nominations. In addition, we’ll be bringing back Joker in 70mm (see page 26), and will play Quentin Tarantino’s sure to be awards-contender, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, also in 70mm (see page 28). Lastly, the 2020 Oscar Nominated Short Films are back this year, starting on January 31st (see page 20). In February The Loft Cinema will inaugurate an annual fundraiser, for which we couldn’t be more excited! The Red Carpet Awards Evening will feature the big show on the big screen, along with dinner (generously provided by Locale, the new restaurant from the team behind Contigo), drinks, red carpet photos, and the legendary awards show Bingo, hosted by none other than our own Jeff Yanc. See page 21 for details. 2020 is going to be another great year at The Loft Cinema, and we can’t wait to see you there!! Peggy Johnson, Executive Director The Loft Cinema is a local nonprofit dedicated to creating community by celebrating the art and diversity of film. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
