Loft Film Fest

Celebrating its thirteenth year in 2023, the Loft Film Fest (located in beautiful Tucson, Arizona) is dedicated to showcasing the best independent, foreign and classic films, as well as celebrating the work of established and emerging directors, writers, producers and actors. The Loft Film Fest, through its eclectic and diverse programming, aims not only to expand the audience for cinema that challenges, inspires and entertains, but also to honor those artists whose talent and passion bring that cinema to life.

The Loft Film Fest has been named one of
MovieMaker Magazine’s 25 Coolest Film Festivals In The World
