This free event will take place at the Loft Cinema 3233 E Speedway Blvd.

This screening will feature seven short films, created by the award-winning production and videography team from Arizona Public Media's Arizona Illustrated. Each short film is based on a piece from a Tucson poet, who was asked to share a poem about imagining a better world--to harness something of the urgency in this moment and to imagine beyond it.  The featured Tucson poets include Sylvia Chan, Alison Deming, Claire Hong, Estella González, Gabriel Palacios, Marc Pinate, and Richard Siken. 

Each of the poetry film shorts will be aired during Arizona Illustrated's 45th season starting on September 14.  This free screening at the Loft is your chance for an exclusive preview before the features air on the television program!
