4 DEAR FRIENDS OF THE LOFT CINEMA,
There are a lot of superlatives needed to describe 2018 at The Loft Cinema!
For more than ten years, the groundbreaking Brokeback Mountain (2006) was our biggest grossing, best-attended film. But that changed in 2018. In fact,Brokeback Mountain is now #3 of all time, after an astonishing slate of films in 2018, including The Shape of Water, which is now #1, and Lady Bird, at #2. What makes this even more amazing is that two other films that opened in 2018 are in our top ten of all time: the documentary RBG is now our #4 highest grossing film and the Oscar®winning doc Free Solo is # 10. That means that in a single year, The Loft Cinema had four of its best performing films in 16 years. Extraordinary!
Accordingly, overall revenue, box office and memberships all set records in 2018.
The Loft Film Fest was perhaps our best ever, featuring ROMA on opening night. The fest had an incredible slate of directors and films, and we were proud that 50% of the films were directed by women! We are excited to celebrate the tenth annual Loft Film Fest in 2019, and grateful for the support from Desert Diamond Casinos and Entertainment and the National Endowment for the Arts!
Loft Solar Cinema continued to draw large enthusiastic crowds as we took family-friendly films on the road to underserved rural communities and urban neighborhoods.
Some physical improvements were made in 2018, including the addition of solar panels to provide power to the main building and the marquee. An added bonus is that the panels also provide shaded parking!
Look for more improvements in 2019, including the restoration of the marquee to its original size!
Thank you to everyone who shares our passion for Tucson’s art house, The Loft Cinema. We promise that 2019 will be another exciting year of great films, eclectic events and unique experiences!
Peggy Johnson Executive Director
5 THE LOFT CINEMA: OUR STORY
The Loft Cinema opened in 1972 at the corner of Meyer and 6th Street on the University of Arizona campus at a time when art houses in America flourished in an unprecedented fertile period for foreign and independent films.
The Loft relocated to the current location on Speedway in 1993 when the original property was taken over by the University for parking.
In 2002, The Loft Cinema was purchased by a group of film enthusiasts who transitioned the privately-held theater into a nonprofit arts organization, reflecting a national trend that took hold as art houses were becoming increasingly rare in the U.S. In fact, The Loft Cinema is one of only about 200 art houses still operating in America – almost all of which are nonprofit – and Tucson is one of a handful of cities its size to provide its community access to independent films from America and from around the world.
Since 2002, The Loft Cinema has grown exponentially with its programs, its reach, budget and audience; it is recognized and acclaimed both nationally and internationally.
The Loft Cinema is one of 23 members of the Sundance Art House Project, selected for quality programming, deep involvement with the local community, strong financial standing and recognition from peers and their communities.
The Loft Film Fest is the only American festival member of the International Confederation of Art Cinemas (CICAE), founded in 1955 and based in Berlin and Paris, representing more than 4,000 screens and 24 film festivals all over the world. (The Loft Cinema’s Executive Director Peggy Johnson is the only American ever elected to the CICAE Board of Directors and now serves as Vice President).
The Loft Cinema is the only American member of Solar World Cinema Network, which has members in 19 countries that show free films to underserved urban and rural areas on mobile screens powered by the sun.
The Loft Cinema believes that film is important to our collective sense of cultural identity, with the power to create community, embrace diversity and inclusion, and to be a catalyst for change locally and globally. The Loft Cinema’s programming includes many films, especially those from other countries, that would otherwise not be available on the big screen.

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK
“I just wanted to say thank you so much for the documentary The Guardians. I grew up adorning crops with wild flowers waiting for the monarchs to arrive each Fall, and I try to go to Mexico each year to wait for them in our forest. I am an immigrant like the monarchs ^_^! We’re still taking care of the forest in Mexico and watching the documentary was very touching. Thank you!!!” - Victoria J. Zadrogra, Re: The Guardians Screening at the 2018 Loft Film Fest
