Outdoor Film: Little Miss Sunshine

Outdoor films are coming to the Village! The Sedona International Film Festival is partnering with Village of Oak Creek Association to present its “Movies on the Move” outdoor film experience on Mondays throughout the summer.

Join us on Monday, Sept. 7 when we present “Little Miss Sunshine” outdoors at the Village of Oak Creek Association Park, next to the clubhouse.

“Little Miss Sunshine” (2006) follows a dysfunctional family on a cross-country road trip. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It won two Oscars for Best Supporting Actor (Alan Arkin) and Best Original Screenplay (Michael Arndt).

The Hoover family — a man (Greg Kinnear), his wife (Toni Collette), an uncle (Steve Carell), a brother (Paul Dano) and a grandfather (Alan Arkin) — puts the fun back in dysfunctional by piling into a VW bus and heading to California to support a daughter (Abigail Breslin) in her bid to win the Little Miss Sunshine Contest. The sanity of everyone involved is stretched to the limit as the group’s quirks cause epic problems as they travel along their interstate route.

Bring your lawn chair or blanket and relax in front of a massive outdoor movie screen. Enjoy food and beverage offerings from the festival’s “Movies on the Move” mobile concession stand.

“Little Miss Sunshine” will be shown outdoors at the VOC Association Park (690 Bell Rock Boulevard in the Village of Oak Creek) on Monday, Sept. 7 at dusk. Seating will begin at 7:00 p.m. Parking is free and available onsite.

Tickets are only $10 each, and kids 12 and under are free of charge.
