SUMMARY:Billy Preston: That’s the Way God Planned It
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Billy Preston: That’s the Way God Planned It” showing March 20-26 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres. \nFeaturing never-before-seen archival footage\, studio outtakes\, and rare photos\, “Billy Preston: That’s the Way God Planned It” is an exhilarating documentary about the legendary Grammy-winning musician whose signature sound shaped the work of The Beatles\, The Rolling Stones\, Ray Charles\, Sly Stone\, Aretha Franklin\, and countless others. \nBilly Preston was perhaps the most unsung musical hero of his time. Born in Houston\, Texas\, in 1946\, he arrived in Los Angeles with his family three years later. At just 5 years old\, he was backing gospel legend Mahalia Jackson. By age 10\, he was appearing with Ray Charles on film\, and by age 15\, he was touring with Little Richard in Hamburg\, Germany\, where he met Richard’s opening act — The Beatles. \nHe would later perform and record with the biggest names in music\, including The Beatles\, The Rolling Stones\, Eric Clapton\, Barbra Streisand\, Johnny Cash\, Neil Diamond\, the Red Hot Chili Peppers\, and countless others. \nHe generated his own unforgettable No. 1 hits\, including “Outa-Space\,” “Will It Go Round in Circles\,” “Nothing from Nothing\,” and “You Are So Beautiful” — and his first hit single in 1969\, on The Beatles’ Apple Records\, “That’s The Way God Planned It\,” produced by his lifelong friend\, George Harrison. \nDespite his success\, Billy struggled to reconcile his deep relationship with the Black church with his sexuality\, setting off a lifelong quest to find love and acceptance. \n“Billy Preston: That’s the Way God Planned It” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres March 20-26. Showtimes will be Friday\, March 20 at 6:30 p.m.; Sunday and Wednesday\, March 22 and 25 at 7:00 p.m.; Monday\, March 23 at 3:00 p.m.; Tuesday\, March 24 at 4:00 p.m.; and Thursday\, March 26 at 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. \nTickets are $12\, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information\, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A\, in West Sedona.

SUMMARY:The President’s Cake
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The President’s Cake” showing March 20-26 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre. \n“The President’s Cake” was the winner of the Camera D’Or and Audience Award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival\, and the Official Iraq Entry for the Best International Film Academy Award 2025. \nWhile people across 1990’s Iraq struggle to survive\, 9-year old Lamia has been selected to prepare a cake to celebrate the President’s birthday. In a landscape of fear and scarcity\, where basic ingredients are nearly impossible to find\, Lamia sets out on a determined journey throughout the big city in search of eggs\, flour\, and sugar. Accompanied by her grandmother\, her loyal friend Saeed\, and her pet rooster Hindi\, she navigates vendors and police officers along the way. \n“The President’s Cake” embodies innocence\, imagination\, and inner strength. \n“The President’s Cake” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre March 20-26. Showtimes will be Friday\, Saturday\, Sunday and Monday\, March 20\, 21\, 22 and 23 at 3:30 p.m.; and Tuesday\, Wednesday and Thursday\, March 24\, 25 and 26 at 6:30 p.m. \nTickets are $12\, or $9 for Film Festival members.
