Exclusive giveaway: $190 VIP passes to Film Fest Tucson 2019 up for grabs

Sep 1, 20192 min read

Let the countdown begin… Film Fest Tucson 2019 is almost here!

The fourth-annual event, which takes place from Thursday, October 10 – Saturday, October 12, has a jam-packed program with almost 50 film screenings in downtown Tucson. With three indoor and one outdoor location, you’ve got plenty to take advantage of.

In addition to the variety of films (including narrative, documentaries, and special films), look out for the special guests (including award-winning actors, directors, writers, and producers).

WHY FILM FEST?

The local festival brings filmmakers and our community together around a commonality — a love of storytelling and cinema. In doing so, it showcases Southern Arizona’s rich culture and heritage with a wider audience.

Win big

We have a pair of VIP tickets (worth $95 each) up for grabs. The VIP passes give you access to ALL screenings, panels, workshops, and special events throughout the festival.

In addition, you’ll be granted access to the V.I.P. lounge at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. The lounge, open from 6 – 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, is equipped with snacks from fabulous local restaurants (Tito & Pep, Commoner & Co., and Prep and Pastry) and drinks (compliments of Hamilton Distillery, Ten 55 Brewing Company, and more).

SIGN UP IN THE BAR ABOVE TO WIN

Sign up by entering your name and email address in the bar across the top of your screen for a chance to win a pair of VIP tickets to Film Fest Tucson 2019. A winner will be randomly selected from those who sign up.

The winner will be notified on Wednesday, October 2. Please check your email to see if you’ve won and respond by the end of the day on Wednesday or a new winner will be selected.
