SUMMARY:Frida Kahlo: Exhibition on Screen
DESCRIPTION:Sedona International Film Festival presents the Exhibition on Screen series with the encore of “Frida Kahlo”. The event will show in Sedona on Tuesday and Sunday\, May 19 and 24 at 3:30 p.m. at the festival’s Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre. \nFrida Kahlo is a phenomenon. She is arguably the world’s favorite female artist – beloved by young and old. Exhibition on Screen’s award-winning film — first released during covid to a restricted audience — is back by popular demand with an exciting new addition from the blockbuster transatlantic exhibition from Tate Britain and MFA Houston ‘Frida Kahlo: the Making of an Icon’. Back in the cinemas in May 2026\, one month before the Tate exhibition opens\, allowing audiences to watch both the film and see the show. \nWho was Frida Kahlo? Everyone knows her face but who was the woman behind the bright colors\, the big brows and the floral crowns? Take a journey through the life of a true icon\, discover her art\, and uncover the true story of her rebellious\, passionate and turbulent life. \nMaking use of the latest technology to deliver previously unimaginable quality\, we take an in-depth look at key works throughout her career. Using letters Kahlo wrote to guide us\, this definitive film reveals her deepest emotions and unlocks the secrets and symbolism contained within her art. \nExhibition on Screen’s trademark combination of interviews with those who knew her and world experts\, commentary and a detailed exploration of her art\, combined with new special bonus footage from the 2026 Tate exhibition\, delivers a treasure trove of colour and emotion. This personal and intimate film offers privileged access to her works\, her home\, her studio and highlights the source of her feverish creativity\, her resilience and her unmatched lust for life\, beauty and revolution. \n“Frida Kahlo” was created in close collaboration with world experts and those who knew her. \nThe Exhibition on Screen Series is generously sponsored by Goldenstein Gallery. \n“Frida Kahlo” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre on Tuesday and Sunday\, May 19 and 24 at 3:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 general admission or $13 for Film Festival members. Tickets are available in advance at the Sedona International Film Festival office or by calling 928-282-1177 or online at the BUY TICKETS link to the right. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A\, in West Sedona.

SUMMARY:Penelope
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to conclude the 2026 season of its Sedona Professional Theatre Company with “Penelope” live on stage at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre\, running May 22-24. \n“Penelope” — with music and lyrics by Alex Bechtel — stars Alex Keiper and Alex Bechtel and is directed by Alex Bechtel\, who is also the musical director. \nPenelope has been waiting… and waiting… and waiting for her husband\, Odysseus\, to return from a decade-long war. Given the rest of the soldiers came home years ago – forgive her\, but she’s going to need a drink while she tells you about it. With a beautiful folk-inflected pop score backed by an onstage band of strings\, piano and drums\, Penelope opens up about her loneliness\, her son’s disappearance\, her suitors\, her gods\, her faith in her marriage – and ultimately\, the faith that she must have in herself. So go ahead and grab a drink\, too\, and listen to this ancient tale made new: A woman wondering who she is if she’s alone\, and discovering that she has been\, is and will always be complete – with or without her husband by her side. \nBlending sharp humor with a folk-pop score\, this modern musical retelling of The Odyssey gives Penelope a voice as she awaits her husband’s return\, moving through her loneliness to discover her own strength. \n \nALEX KEIPER\nBarrymore-Award winning actress Alex Keiper is thrilled to be in Sedona and in awe of this community.

SUMMARY:Holding Liat
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Holding Liat” showing May 22-28 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre. \n“Holding Liat” has premiered to rave reviews at film festivals around the world and was shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2026. \nOn the morning of October 7\, 2023\, Israeli-American Liat Atzili and her husband Aviv were at home when Hamas attacked their kibbutz. By nightfall\, Liat and Aviv are captives in Gaza along with 250 other people — 12 of whom\, like Liat\, are American citizens. \nCaught between international diplomacy and a rapidly escalating war\, their family must face their own uncertainty and conflicting political perspectives in the pursuit of Liat and Aviv’s release.
