In 2018, The Loft Cinema celebrated 46 years as Tucson’s independent art house, the last 16 years as a nonprofit. It was a verySWEET 16, as The Loft Cinema set attendance records and screened some truly great films, including two that are on my top ten list of all time, Call Me By Your Name and Roma. We’re starting 2019 off right withIf Beale Street Could Talk, the new film by Barry Jenkins, who wrote and directed the Oscar-winning Best Picture Moonlight. Thank you to everyone who joined, renewed their membership or made an end-of-the-year donation to The Loft Cinema. We are humbled by your support and your validation of everything we do at The Loft Cinema. Thanks to you, we ended the year in a strong financial position and are already gearing up for exciting projects in 2019 including a restored marquee, more room in the lobby and the 10th Annual Loft Film Fest (Save the Date: November 7-14!). We will continue to green up, having added solar panels to supply power to the main building and adopted compostable straws, cups and lids in 2018. Speaking for everyone who has the honor of working at The Loft Cinema, thanks for believing in us and thanks for sharing our passion for film! We truly believe that The Loft Cinema enriches the lives of the people living in Tucson and Southern Arizona and we are dedicated to continuing to raise the bar! Happy New Year!
