SUMMARY:Mr. Nobody Against Putin
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Mr. Nobody Against Putin” showing April 24-29 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon and Mary D. Fisher Theatres. \n“Mr. Nobody Against Putin” won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and was the winner of the Audience Choice Award for Best International Documentary at the recent Sedona International Film Festival. \nPasha Talankin is an unlikely hero — a beloved Russian primary school teacher\, known as a mentor and prankster who offers students a safe haven in his office. After Russia invades Ukraine\, Pasha’s role in the school changes dramatically as he is reluctantly drawn into Putin’s propaganda machine.  \nForced to promote state-sanctioned messages and horrified by the transformation of his school and community\, he struggles with guilt and a sense of powerlessness\, leading him to become an international whistleblower.  \nAs the school’s videographer\, Pasha documents intimate and revealing footage of Putin’s regime\, capturing the rise of militarized children’s groups\, repressive laws\, fervent nationalism\, and the recruitment of graduating students to fight in the war. When he learns his own life may be at risk\, Pasha is forced to plan a dangerous escape from Russia.  \nDirected by David Borenstein and Pasha Talankin\, this uniquely collaborative film is as captivating and joyful as it is eye-opening and sobering. “Mr. Nobody Against Putin” showcases rare footage that reveals the profound impact of Putin’s regime on the lives of everyday Russians\, particularly its children. \n“Mr. Nobody Against Putin” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon and Mary D. Fisher Theatres April 24-29. Showtimes will be Friday\, April 24 at 6:30 p.m.; Sunday and Tuesday\, April 26 and 28 at 7:00 p.m.; Monday\, April 27 at 3:00 p.m.; and Wednesday\, April 29 at 4:00 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:La Scala: The Force of Destiny
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “La Scala: The Force of Destiny” showing April 25-29 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre. \nDecember 7th marks opening night of Milan’s legendary opera season at La Scala. Since 1951\, this is the evening when everything stops and the entire city moves to the rhythm of an event known as\, “La Prima”. Opera enthusiasts from around the world flock to attend this special performance and on December 7th\, 2024\, Verdi’s masterpiece\, “La Forza del Destino”\, inaugurates the season. \nIn a world full of conflict and political tensions\, stage director Leo Muscato\, costume designer Silvia Aymonino\, and set designer Federica Parolini envision the arena of “La Forza del Destino” as set in a global war zone\, transforming Verdi’s opera into a contemporary performance that resonates strongly with the present. \nFrom the first rehearsals with the singers\, musicians\, chorists and dancers\, to the moment of La Scala’s fateful curtain rise on opening night\, we are there with the artists\, the ushers\, in the heart of the audience\, and with the divas and maestros of the theater\, all led by the brilliant and charismatic Maestro Chailly. \n“The Force of Destiny” is an electric experience from behind the scenes\, the final few months of preparation\, the pressure\, the stress\, and the hive of talent and passion that defines La Scala. This film\, structured like a work of fiction without voice over\, tells the exclusive story of the highest artistic ambition in an organic and carnal way: The world’s most legendary opera house\, and all the talent in front and behind the scenes that bring it to life. \n“La Scala: The Force of Destiny” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre April 25-29. Showtimes will be Saturday\, Tuesday and Wednesday\, April 25\, 28 and 29 at 6:30 p.m.; and Sunday and Monday\, April 26 and 27 at 3:30 p.m. \nTickets are $12\, or $9 for Film Festival members.
