As women become increasingly vocal about the horrifying underrepresentation of females who direct films (as well as our dramatic lack of inclusion in so many other areas, film-related and otherwise), it’s great to acknowledge that women direct all kinds of films, including some great scary movies! Everyone at The Loft Cinema is gearing up for the 9th annual Loft Film Fest, coming up November 8-15. We feel that this year’s fest will continue the fest’s upward trajectory in terms of excellent curation offering a world-class film festival experience. Passes are on sale now – and watch our website and follow the Loft Film Fest on Facebook for updates on films and guests! Thank you to everyone who joined or renewed their membership at The Loft Cinema. Our September membership drive was our most successful ever, thanks to our incredible members who believe in the power of film and understand how The Loft Cinema adds to the quality of life in Tucson!
