New International Film Festival Comes to Tucson!

The Southwest LGBT Film Society is announcing the coming of its 1st Annual “Out in the Desert”, Tucson’s International LGBT Film Festival.

The Festival, scheduled for February 17-19, and February 24-26, 2012 is a celebration of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender films.
