THE LOFT FILM FEST IS COMING NOVEMBER 10 - 18!
FESTIVAL BADGES ON SALE NOW!
Celebrating its eleventh year in 2021, the Loft Film Fest 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. This year's program will feature approximately 40 hand-selected festival favorites from Cannes, Sundance, SXSW, and other top international film festivals.
Badgeholders are guaranteed entry to every film, provided they arrive no later than 20 minutes before the screening. Entry after that is subject to availability.
Scroll down for info on this year's fest and to view 9 of this year's selections. More films will be announced soon and we expect to announce the full schedule and put individual tickets on sale in mid-late October.
The 2021 Loft Film Fest will be a 100% in-person film festival, with all screenings taking place in either The Loft Cinema's Screen 1, which features the biggest traditional indoor movie screen in Southern Arizona, or in the Open Air Cinema, an outdoor cinema experience located on The Loft Cinema's campus.
Attendance in Screen 1 is currently limited to 185 people, or 50% of its normal capacity, and Open Air Cinema screenings will have a maximum capacity of 100 people. Badge sales in 2021 will be limited to 50 total available, so they are expected to sell out quickly! Badges are $180 for the general public and $150 for Loft Cinema members.
