Loft Cinema, Independent movie theater in Tucson, United States
Loft Cinema is a nonprofit, independent movie theater on East Speedway Boulevard in Tucson, Arizona, showing a wide range of international, documentary, and independent films. It has three screens with modern sound systems, and the program changes daily.
The cinema was founded as a nonprofit and grew into one of the city's main venues for independent film through steady community support. Over the years it became one of the few places in Tucson that has consistently shown films outside the mainstream.
The Loft shows films you rarely find elsewhere in the city, from foreign-language productions to older classics brought back to the big screen. Audiences here tend to stay after screenings to talk, making it a social place as much as a cinema.
The entrance and screening rooms are wheelchair accessible, and tickets can be bought in advance online. Since the program changes daily, it is worth checking current showtimes before you visit.
The Loft regularly hosts film festivals and invites directors and producers to speak with the audience after certain screenings. For a theater of its size, this kind of direct access to filmmakers is unusual.
