SUMMARY:Occupational Hazard: The First Coral Reefers
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theaters around the globe to present the worldwide premiere of “Occupational Hazard: The First Coral Reefers” — a documentary about Jimmy Buffet — showing Sept. 18 and 19 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre. \n“Occupational Hazard: The First Coral Reefers” is a feature documentary that journeys back to the 1970s and early 1980s to tell the story of Jimmy Buffett’s original Coral Reefer Band. Set against the creative backdrop of Key West\, the film explores the musicians\, friendships\, touring years\, and studio sessions that helped shape Buffett’s legendary sound. \nThrough rare\, never-before-seen archival footage and deeply personal interviews with founding members\, tour managers\, producers and music legends\, “Occupational Hazard” captures the camaraderie\, chaos\, and magic of an era that thrived on freedom and lived without a rulebook. \nNarrated by Academy-award winner Jeff Bridges\, “Occupational Hazard” offers fans a deeper look at the people behind the music and the era that helped define Jimmy Buffett’s lasting legacy. This film is a tribute to Buffett and the original Coral Reefers\, the places and people that shaped them\, the volatile beauty of a musical moment that couldn’t last but changed everything and their candid sentiment toward Buffett. It’s the origin story upon which the Parrot Head empire was built upon\, by the people who helped lay the foundation. \n“Occupational Hazard: The First Coral Reefers” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Sept. 18 and 19. Showtimes will be Friday\, Sept. 18 at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday\, Sept. 19 at 4:00 p.m. \nTickets are $12\, or $9 for Film Festival members.

SUMMARY:Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World” showing Sept. 18-24 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres. \nIf poetry had a pop icon\, Mary Oliver would be it. Celebrated bestseller\, Pulitzer Prize winner\, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods\, openly queer but intensely private\, Oliver was America’s unlikely contemporary mystic\, stalking the ponds and forests of Cape Cod for nearly 50 years in order to open herself — and her readers — to the known and unknowable world.  \nFrom a lonely childhood to literary fame\, Oliver’s life was shaped by devotion to nature\, paying attention\, and the long journey toward learning to love and to be loved. Her poems inspire liberals and conservatives\, atheists and believers\, naturalists and urbanites\, speaking directly to contemporary anxieties about attention\, presence\, and the human relationship with the natural world — issues that feel especially pressing in an era of climate crisis\, digital distraction\, and social fragmentation. \nFeaturing interviews with her close friends\, including John Waters\, never-before-seen personal photos\, notebooks\, and correspondence from her archive\, and recitations of her work by Stephen Colbert\, Lucy Dacus\, Steve Buscemi\, and Oprah Winfrey\, “Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World” considers the poet’s long lifetime of work in context\, capturing the uniqueness of her world and the natural beauty that inspired her. \n“An entertaining bio-doc that puts due emphasis on Oliver’s writing\, in all its elegant and empathetic simplicity … makes an affecting case for her work and gives us a vivid look at her world.” — Wall Street Journal \n“The film seeks to explain why Oliver’s poetry means so much to so many people … making space for audiences to have their own experiences with her poems. Tidbits of these have become almost aphoristic\, but the fuller context a film like this brings can result in more appreciation\, for new readers and longtime fans alike.” — The New York Times \n“I am moved by its soft nature that mirrors Oliver’s practice and mind.” — RogerEbert.com \n“Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres Sept. 18-24. Showtimes will be Friday and Monday\, Sept. 18 and 21 at 4:00 p.m.; Saturday\, Sept. 19 at 12:30 p.m.; Sunday and Tuesday\, Sept. 20 and 22 at 7:00 p.m.; and Thursday\, Sept. 24 at 3:00 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:How to Divorce During the War
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “How to Divorce During the War” showing Sept. 18-24 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre. \nVilnius\, 2022. High-flying executive Marija (Zygimante Elena Jakstaite) chooses the worst possible moment to inform her husband Vytas (Marius Repsys) she wants a divorce: just one day before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.  \nSuddenly the couple must navigate the process of separation as it collides with a refugee and mid-life crisis. A struggling film director\, Vytas is put into a tight spot by having to move in with his Russophile parents\, while Marija struggles to find her footing as the war affects both her business and home life. As the reason for the divorce gradually becomes clear\, the dissolution of Marija and Vytas’ marriage creates conflicts and opportunities for both of them\, while also affecting their ever-observant young daughter Dovile.  \nPacked with surprises along with much heartache and soul searching\, Andrius Blaževičius’ nuanced and timely family drama skillfully depicts the fallout of a marriage against the backdrop of extraordinary events with humor and compassion. \n“A stinging satire … prepare to relate in a way that will almost assuredly be too close for comfort.” — David Fear\, Rolling Stone \n“Smart\, dryly humorous and perfectly shot.” — Brian Tallerico\, RogerEbert.com \n“A drily witty\, subtly searing comedy.” — Guy Lodge\, Variety \n“How to Divorce During the War” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Sept. 18-24. Showtimes will be Friday\, Saturday and Thursday\, Sept. 18\, 19 and 24 at 3:30 p.m.; Sunday\, Sept. 20 at 12:30 p.m.; and Monday and Tuesday\, Sept. 21 and 22 at 6:30 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:A Simple Machine
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “A Simple Machine” showing Sept. 18-24 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon and Mary D. Fisher Theatres. \n“A Simple Machine” — the award-winning debut feature film from Mark Alan Hoffman — is a deeply human story about economic independence\, personal freedom\, and the cost of wanting less in a culture built on more.  \nThe film follows Nick Allander (Richard Blackmon)\, a recent college graduate drowning in debt who quietly dismantles his own life in pursuit of radical frugality and self-reliance\, but without telling the woman he loves. What begins as a private experiment in minimalism becomes a reckoning with identity\, responsibility\, and the meaning of freedom in a market-driven world. \nCentral to the film’s visual and philosophical language is the bicycle as symbol and instrument. For Nick\, the bike becomes both a practical solution and quiet rebellion: a tool of economic independence\, mobility without debt\, and a form of technology that enhances human agency rather than diminishing it. In a city where cycling is cultural currency\, “A Simple Machine” reframes the bicycle as something deeper: a deliberate choice toward simplicity\, dignity\, and embodied presence. \n“Relevant to almost everyone in America.” — MovieMaker \n“Absolutely gorgeous cinematography and multifaceted story.” — Matt Hurt\, The Obsessive Viewer \n“The film reveals precious insights into the nature of ‘value’ and ‘worth’.” — Vancouver International Film Fest Centre \n“A Simple Machine” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon and Mary D. Fisher Theatres Sept. 18-24. Showtimes will be Friday\, Saturday and Thursday\, Sept. 18\, 19 and 24 at 6:30 p.m.; Sunday\, Sept. 20 at 4:00 p.m.; and Monday and Tuesday\, Sept. 21 and 22 at 3:30 p.m. \nTickets are $12\, or $9 for Film Festival members.
