Two independent film festivals in Tucson in October

by

I know I was confused too, but there are two independent film festivals coming up in the Old Pueblo in October, so here’s the information on both:

13th Annual Tucson Film Fest, October 5 to 8 at UA Gallagher Theater, 1303 E. University Blvd.; El Con Theater, 3601 E. Broadway Blvd; and the Loft Cinema, 3233 E. Speedway Blvd.  Website: www.tucsonfilmfest.com. Tickets are mostly $8, with an all festival badge at $45.

Schedule: http://tucsonfilmandmusicfestival.com/events_category/films/

Then there’s the Film Fest Tucson on October 19 to 22 mostly at the Scottish Rite Temple, 160 S.  Scott Ave. Two free outdoor screenings at 7 p.m. will be held on October 20 at Children’s Museum Tucson (“The Incredible Shrinking Man”), and October 21 the Scottish Rite Temple’s parking lot (“The Outsiders”).

“Individual tickets to Film Fest Tucson screenings are $10 each. Fest passes, with access to all screenings and entry into the VIP Lounge, are available for $60 each.”

  1. My husband and I went to see the outdoor film “The Outsiders” in the south parking lot of the Scottish Rite Temple for this Film Fest Tucson. It’s a 1983 coming of age movie of two gangs “The Greasers” (northside poor boys) versus “The Socs” (southside rich boys), a typical town vs. gown movie. Much younger days for famous actors Patrick Swayze (now deceased), Matt Damon, Rob Lowe, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez, Ralph Macchio, Diane Lane…with a lot of male bonding drama, gang fighting, pathos.
