Micro-Cinema Screenings at Club Congress

Created by filmmaker Timothy Gassen for Purple Cactus Media Productions, the
TucsonFilm.com Micro-Cinema screens independent short film and video, with
an emphasis on Arizona talent. Dramatic, documentary, artistic and
experimental film and video are all welcome and encouraged.

(FAQ and Submission Form: www.TucsonFilm.com)

The TucsonFilm.com Micro-Cinema screenings take place at Club Congress
(located inside the historic Hotel Congress, 311 E. Congress Street in
downtown Tucson).
The monthly screenings start at 7 p.m., and are followed by a filmmaker
meet-and-greet mixer until 9 p.m. Admission is free, and a full bar is
available.
(Filmgoers under 21 must be accompanied by an adult.)

"The micro-cinema movement gives truly independent filmmakers the
opportunity to be seen," Gassen says.
"Our grassroots screenings hope to bring a wide variety of exciting, new
ideas in film to Tucson that wouldn't be seen together anywhere else. Now we
need local filmmakers to step forward and submit their films!"

All filmmakers- both local and international - are welcome to submit short
films for the monthly screenings, with no submission fee. Walk-up films will
not be screened immediately - all submissions must be made in advance.

Joining the partnership of TucsonFilm.com and Club Congress is
AzNightBuzz.com - the entertainment Web site will host free streaming sample
films from the screenings.

"We're working to create a professional, friendly environment where all
kinds of media makers come to share their films, ideas and also network to
create more local films," Gassen continues. "We have filmmaker interviews
and Q&A sessions, along with the screenings, and stay after as long as
Tucsonans want to talk film."
