The Tucson Festival of Films (Tfof) will close its inaugural edition with a 40th Anniversary screening of Martin Scorsese’s film "Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore" on Saturday, October 10, 2015. Starring Ellen Burstyn in her Academy Award-winning role, "Alice" was filmed in Tucson and surrounds.
Martin Scorsese said recently “'Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore' was my first studio picture. Ellen Burstyn had seen 'Mean Streets' and admired it, and that’s how I came to the project. I was intrigued and excited by the challenges of working in wide open spaces, something completely new to me; dealing with a way of life that was so different from what I knew; and telling the story of a single woman and mother who is more or less forced to reinvent herself and go on the road. I loved Tucson with its enormous desert skies and expanses and its beautiful light - it was an extraordinary place to shoot a movie. And I have so many wonderful memories of the shoot itself – working with Ellen and Diane Ladd, a very young Jodie Foster and Alfred Lutter, Kris Kristofferson, and my friend Harvey Keitel. I treasure my memories of the experience, and it means the world to me that this picture we made four decades ago will be closing the inaugural Tucson Festival of Films.”
In honor of the film’s 40th anniversary, Ellen Burstyn and Diane Ladd recently took part in an on-camera discussion of their experiences filming Alice. Their filmed conversation will follow the screening.
The film will be presented in 35mm at Tucson’s independent movie theater the Loft Cinema.
Tfof, presented by Cox Communications, will make its debut in Tucson, Az, October 8-10. In a unique collaboration, Tfof unites 8 established festivals. The festivals’ directors have curated the Tfof lineup, each selecting films that best represent their individual festivals. Participating festivals are Arizona International Film Festival, Arizona Underground Film Festival, Loft Film Fest, Native Eyes Film Showcase, Tucson Cine México, Tucson Film & Music Festival, Tucson International Jewish Film Festival and Tucson Terrorfest.
Tfof will allow audiences to experience the best of the fests under (mostly) one roof. Excepting the 35mm screening of "Alice" at the Loft, all screenings will take place at the Temple of Music and Art in downtown Tucson, one of the oldest cultural centers in Arizona.
In addition to the anniversary screening of Scorsese’s seminal film, the three-day event will showcase a selection of new features, documentaries and shorts and include Arizona Underground Film Festival’s World Premiere of Josh Evans’ "Death in the Desert" starring Michael Madsen.
