For Di\, the shyest one in the room\, the task is simple: ask a guy to buy her coffee. \n \nCANDY BAR (Australia): A young girl thinks a man in the candy bar line looks like her dad. \n \nVULTURES (South Africa): In the volatile moments after a car crash\, before the authorities arrive\, a hot-headed yet desperate tow truck driver fiercely protects his tow. \n \nLIFE GOES ON (United Kindom): Bill is ready for the end. The end isn’t ready for him. At 83\, he finds himself caught in an absurd glitch: every time he dies\, the day begins again. \n \nNEVER GIVE UP (Mexico): An unexpected source of hope guides a boy as he attempts to cross the US-Mexico border. \nYou Be the Judge!\nWhich of these final ten short films is best?

SUMMARY:My Underground Mother
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to partner with the Martin-Springer Institute at Northern Arizona University to present the one-day-only Sedona premiere of “My Underground Mother” on Monday\, Sept. 28 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre. \nMeet the filmmaker! Director Marisa Fox will be in Sedona to host the film and do a live Q&A discussion after the screening. \nFreedom fighter\, double agent\, femme fatale — Tamar said she was all three. Decades after her death\, a page she wrote in a diary from a Nazi-run women’s camp reveals a hidden identity\, leading her daughter on a global reckoning with the secrets she took to her grave. \n“You think you know your mother until you don’t\,” says filmmaker Marisa Fox. Tamar was a New York doctor’s wife who claimed she fled her native Poland on the cusp of World War II and was never a Holocaust “victim”. Twenty years after her death\, Fox\, a journalist and mother\, learns Tamar had a secret identity and chases down leads that span the globe\, uncovering a story of Nazi trafficking and a defiant band of sisters in a women’s forced labor camp. \nDogged research\, extraordinary archival imagery and staggeringly candid interviews reveal a portrait of a woman who dared to be the hero of her own story\, transforming herself from Nazi slave to freedom fighter\, from refugee to spy and saboteur\, ultimately reinventing herself as a matriarch in America. \n“My Underground Mother” is a real-life story of a daughter coming to terms with a mother who went to extraordinary lengths not to be defined by trauma. \n“Riveting. An edge-of-your-seat experience.” — The Guardian \nMEET FILMMAKER MARISA FOX\nMarisa Fox is a veteran journalist and first-time filmmaker whose work spans print\, broadcast\, and digital platforms. She has produced award-winning stories and social impact campaigns for Hearst\, Time Inc.\, and others\, and written for outlets including The New York Times\, CNN\, Ms.\, The Forward\, and Ha’aretz. Her reporting often centers on gender\, genocide\, extremism\, and sexual trauma. A “she source” for the Women’s Media Center\, Fox made her directorial debut with My Underground Mother\, which led to the unveiling of Holocaust memorials in Poland and the Czech Republic\, and a digital exhibit with USC’s Shoah Foundation. \n“My Underground Mother” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Monday\, Sept. 28 at 3:00 p.m. with filmmaker Marisa Fox present for a live Q&A discussion. \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.
