Film Tourism in Arizona

The history of making movies in Tucson and Southern Arizona is as long as the history of movie-making itself. That's because the natural settings of desert and pine-topped mountains as well as ghost towns, old west movie sets, urban settings and proximity to Mexico give Southern Arizona a vast range of locations within a relatively small area. 

Listed below are just a few of the locations you may want to visit while you're in town for the festival. Click each title for more info.
