Loft Cinema, Inc.

VOTED THE BEST MOVIE THEATER IN TUCSON (2024) BY TUCSON WEEKLY READERS!

The Loft Cinema is an authentic Tucson treasure that provides audiences with the opportunity to experience great films on the big screen! Since it was founded in a small one-screen space adjacent to the University of Arizona campus, The Loft Cinema has screened foreign and independent films, hosted events and profoundly increased the quality of life in Tucson.

The mission of The Loft Cinema is building community by celebrating the art and diversity of film. The Loft Cinema is a mission-driven, member-supported nonprofit arts organization, serving Greater Tucson and Southern Arizona, and beyond.

In July 2024, The Loft embarked on an ambitious endeavor to expand and upgrade the entire campus. This project now well underway, we look forward to offering our community a new and improved Loft Cinema featuring:

New Lobby Space: The new heart of The Loft, where moviegoers gather with seamless access to the whole campus, including screens, concessions and restrooms.

Incredible New Viewing and Gathering Experience: A new indoor fourth screen will offer flexible seating with a mix of luxury loungers, sofa, and beanbags. A permanent open-air theater will welcome audiences, along with a rooftop bar and a renovated Screen 2 which will offer more luxury seating.

New Restrooms, Doors, Theaters: An elevator to the second floor will provide access to the rooftop bar and Screen 2, and all doors will have automatic openers.

Re-imagined Concessions: A new menu emphasizing locally-sourced food, beverages, and wine. There will be minimal wait times and plenty of space to get your fare and get to your movie.

Your gift to The Loft Cinema this AZ Gives Day will be directed towards the campaign to make these changes a reality!

THANK YOU from everyone at The Loft Cinema and we hope to see you soon at the movies!

Testimonials

"Boasting one of the longest-running continuous ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW screening series on record, as well as an eclectic mix of live events-including costume competitions, sing-a-longs, a free annual children's film festival, and more-the theater has become a beloved and vital part of the fabric of Tucson. In recent years it's even started to take its show on the road, hosting solar-powered outdoor screenings across the state in an attempt to bring the Loft experience to people who can't make it to the movie theater-including Arizona's Native American communities. Dedicated to raising awareness of local issues through both its programming and community-outreach initiatives, the Loft is not only a movie theater but a vital cultural steward for the southern Arizona region." - The Criterion Channel
