The Festival, scheduled for February 17-19, and February 24-26, 2012 at the Screening Room, is a celebration of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender films. The six-day event will showcase the best features, documentaries, shorts and musical films exploring LGBT issues and/or created by members of the LGBT community, and promises to be an exciting and diverse addition to Tucson’s Art Culture.

Film submissions to “Out in the Desert” are coming in from all over the world, as well as from local filmmakers in and around the Tucson area. Steering Committee members, Joe Sprague: Festival Director, Tom Forester: Programming Chair, Chris Canine: Sponsorship and Community Partners Chair, Han Nguyen: Communications Chair, Kris Nicola: Online Chair, Brad Spaulding: Ticket and Membership Chair and Lana Baldwin: Special Events Chair, have begun organizing to bring the best LGBT films to Tucson. The committee is currently in search of additional chair/committee members and volunteers. For more information, please visit “Out in the Desert’s” official website at www.outinthedesertff.org.
