SUMMARY:Winter of the Crow
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Winter of the Crow” showing Oct. 30-Nov. 4 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre. \nInspired by the short story by Booker Prize and Nobel Prize winning author Olga Tokarczuk\, the latest film from director Kasia Adamik — “Winter of the Crow” — is a thrilling cat-and-mouse game set at the onset of Poland’s Martial Law era in 1981\, starring Academy Award nominee Lesley Manville who plays an ordinary woman caught in an extraordinary situation. \nWarsaw\, Poland – December 13\, 1981 – Martial law is imposed and overnight shuts down the country just as British psychiatry professor Dr Joan Andrews (Manville) arrives as a guest lecturer at the University. Taxis have been replaced by tanks; citizens are treated like criminals. But as chaos engulfs the city\, armed with her polaroid camera\, she witnesses a brutal murder by the secret police. In mortal danger and trapped as Poland is closed down\, Joan becomes a hunted fugitive running for her life. \nUsing her instincts and newly-formed connection with a young student\, Joan navigates the labyrinthine streets of Warsaw desperately battling against the clock to make the last plane out. The British Ambassador could be her ally\, but can he even trust those who are working with him? Compelled by a strength and conscience she did not know she had\, Joan finds the courage and determination to try and outsmart a totalitarian regime and pursue a path to justice for her new Polish friends. But in the face of such oppression\, will she make the last flight home and manage to release her incriminating photos out into the world? \n“Lesley Manville delivers a commanding performance.” — Next Best Picture \n“The British star quietly captivates.” — Screen Daily \n“Lesley Manville\, driven and determined as ever\, never lets us go.” — The Guardian \n“Winter of the Crow” will be shown at the Mary D.

Showtimes will be Friday\, Saturday and Wednesday\, Oct. 30\, 31 and Nov. 4 at 4:00 p.m.; and Sunday\, Monday and Tuesday\, Nov. 1\, 2 and 3 at 7:00 p.m. \nTickets are $12\, or $9 for Film Festival members.

SUMMARY:The Scout
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Scout” showing Oct. 30-Nov. 5 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre. \nSofia works as a location scout for a TV pilot filming in New York City. It’s her job to find the homes\, businesses\, and exteriors where the show will be filmed. Driving around the city’s different neighborhoods\, she enters the private spaces of strangers to photograph their cozy apartments and eclectic shops\, stepping into the fabric of their lives while trying to satisfy the demands of her erratic employers.  \nOver a day filled with these encounters\, Sofia witnesses moments of curiosity\, vulnerability\, and quiet tension until her work takes a sudden\, personal turn.  \nDrawing from her own experience as a location scout\, writer-director Paula González-Nasser captures the poetry and costs of being a young creative. Her celebrated directorial debut “The Scout” crafts a contemplative exploration of urban disconnection\, following one woman’s journey through other people’s worlds as she struggles to find her own. \n“A masterpiece … an immediate all-time great film on filmmaking.” — In Review Online \n“An under-the-radar gem.” — Variety \n“The Scout” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Oct. 30-Nov. 5.

SUMMARY:Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie” showing Oct. 30-Nov. 5 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre. \nMore than 30 years after Iran’s leader Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa\, a religious decree calling for the death of author Salman Rushdie over the publication of his novel The Satanic Verses\, Rushdie traveled to Chautauqua to speak about the United States as a sanctuary for exiled writers and artists. The event marked the 20th anniversary of a writer-refuge program — a setting meant to celebrate safety and creative freedom. It was there that a young man rushed the stage\, intent on killing him with a knife. Using excerpts from Rushdie’s works\, including his powerful memoir Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder\, Alex Gibney’s documentary is both a striking testament to freedom of expression and a defiant response to the attempt on Rushdie’s life. \nThe film incorporates never-before-seen footage shot by Rushdie’s wife\, Rachel Eliza Griffiths\, in the days and weeks following the attack. This material offers a graphic\, unflinching\, and deeply intimate account of what happened\, including archival footage of Rushdie’s early career and rise to literary fame\, the controversy surrounding The Satanic Verses\, and events leading up to the attempted murder. It also traces Rushdie’s physical and spiritual recovery\, including the challenges he continues to face\, from losing an eye to the reduced use of one hand. \n“Knife” blends reportage with fictionalized dialogues to explore the mindset of the attacker\, probing the “why” behind the violence. At its core\, the film is a portrait of resilience — of Rushdie’s own extraordinary strength and the love that carried him through this ordeal — and a call to action against censorship and hatred. It argues that art itself can be a form of resistance. \nIn “Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie”\, Gibney — working with longtime collaborators Andy Grieve (editor) and Will Bates (composer) — crafts a poetic dreamscape that reflects how Rushdie views his writing as his own “knife\,” a tool to fight back\, reclaim his story\, and respond to violence with imagination and art. \n“Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Oct. 30-Nov. 5. Showtimes will be Friday\, Saturday\, Wednesday and Thursday\, Oct. 30\, 31 and Nov. 4 and 5 at 3:30 p.m.; and Sunday\, Monday and Tuesday\, Nov. 1\, 2 and 3 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:Día de los Muertos & Samhain: Music Across the Veil
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival presents “Día de los Muertos & Samhain: Music Across the Veil” concert live on Sunday\, Nov. 1 at 4 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre. \nArvel Bird and Sabina Sandoval join Kate Rose and Armand Ramirez as Día de los Muertos and the Celtic season of Samhain meet in music and story. Hispanic\, Native\, Celtic\, and Southwestern traditions offer different perspectives on ancestors\, remembrance\, celebration\, and the mysterious turning toward winter. Music and storytelling move between remembrance and celebration\, exploring how people use sound\, ritual\, story\, and gathering to maintain connections across generations. \n \nClassically trained as a violinist\, Arvel Bird’s compositions and performances are a confluence of styles from Celtic\, bluegrass and his original Native American folk and Celtic rock orchestrations. As he worked to develop his own music style and build a large following\, Arvel went wherever the music called him\, which led him away from classical and towards Bluegrass\, Appalachian\, Folk and Celtic. From 1986 to 2000 Arvel toured with Glen Campbell\, Loretta Lynn\, Tom T. Hall\, Ray Price\, Louise Mandrell\, and Clay Walker. \nThe Wild West Fiddle Project researches\, recreates\, and revives historic musical traditions of Arizona and the Colorado Plateau\, bringing them to life through concerts\, workshops\, and community dances. By combining archival research with performance\, the project reconnects audiences with the vibrant musical crossroads that once flourished across the Southwest. \n \nDr. Kate Rose is a fiddler\, scholar\, and the founder of Wild Steps. Trained in traditional music in County Clare\, Ireland\, she now researches historic Southwest traditions and performs them in dynamic programs that bring history to life through music and storytelling. \nArmand Ramirez is a versatile guitarist whose deep experience in Latin\, folk\, and roots traditions gives the music a powerful rhythmic drive and stylistic range. His playing bridges cultures and eras\, bringing warmth and groove to the Wild West Fiddle Project’s sound. \n \nSabina Sandoval is an acclaimed drummer\, percussionist\, educator\, and TED Talk speaker with over 35 years of professional experience. Known for her dynamic performances and infectious energy\, she brings people together through rhythm\, improvisation\, and the joy of making music. \n“Día de los Muertos & Samhain: Music Across the Veil” will take the stage at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Sunday\, Nov. 1 at 4 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. All tickets include a meet-and-greet with the performers in the lobby after the show. \nFor tickets and more information\, please call 928-282-1177.

SUMMARY:Cottonwood Premiere: Trailblazers
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present “Monday Movies on Main” on Monday\, Nov. 2 with the Cottonwood premiere of “Trailblazers” at 7 p.m. at Old Town Center for the Arts. \nIn 1982\, brothers Troy and Gil Gillenwater decided to walk across the state of Arizona. Without GPS\, mobile phones\, or continuous trails\, they cobbled together an 810-mile adventure that took over two months and two mules to complete. Little did they know\, their trek would be an inspiration for the Arizona National Scenic Trail\, now hiked by thousands each year. \nThat remarkable origin story comes to life in “Trailblazers” — a 40-minute documentary produced by the Emmy Award-winning team at Quantum Leap Productions. \nThe evening benefits the Arizona Trail Association Endowment\, supporting the long-term protection\, stewardship\, and future of the Arizona Trail. \nFeaturing rare archival footage and compelling interviews with Bruce Babbitt\, former Arizona Governor and U.S. Secretary of the Interior\, and Kevin Fedarko\, acclaimed author of “The Emerald Mile” and “A Walk in the Park”\, “Trailblazers” traces the Gillenwater trek and the enduring spirit of exploration that helped shape one of Arizona’s greatest public-lands legacies. \nPart road movie\, part time machine\, “Trailblazers” is about how one audacious idea can spark a lasting legacy for generations to follow. \n“Trailblazers” will show at Old Town Center for the Arts on Monday\, Nov. 2 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 general admission and $9 for Film Festival members and $10 for students. Movie concessions will be available\, including beer\, wine\, soft drinks\, water\, popcorn and a selection of movie candy. \nFor tickets and more information\, please call 928-282-1177. Tickets can also be ordered in advance online at the BUY TICKETS link to the right. \nOld Town Center for the Arts is located at 633 N. 5th Street (just off Main) in Cottonwood.

SUMMARY:James McNeill Whistler
DESCRIPTION:Sedona International Film Festival presents the Exhibition on Screen series with “James McNeill Whistler”. The film will premiere in Sedona on Nov. 3 and 8 at the festival’s Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre. \nIn an era of great change and great beauty emerged the character of James McNeill Whistler. Considered by some to be one of the great innovators of 19th century art\, he was a contemporary of the Impressionists\, much admired by Van Gogh and Manet. \nBoldly experimental and famously witty\, Whistler disrupted the strict conventions of Victorian society in pursuit of a new cult of beauty\, creating “art for art’s sake” and earning himself a place in the history of great art. He found a parallel between painting and music\, and entitled many of his paintings “arrangements”\, “harmonies” and “nocturnes”\, emphasizing the importance of tonal harmony in his work. \nHis most famous painting\, Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 (1871)\, commonly known as Whistler’s Mother\, is a revered and often parodied portrait of motherhood. It is arguably one of the most famous paintings in history and this film will unveil the artist behind the art. \nTate Britain is now holding the first major retrospective of Whistler in three decades. This blockbuster exhibition promises to reawaken the world to just how important Whistler is to art history\, uniting world-famous masterpieces with rarely seen works. Exhibition on Screen will bring these stunning works and the incredible story behind them to cinemas around the world while the exhibition is still running\, bringing this truly global artist to a global audience. \nThis will be an unmissable chance to get to know this visually spectacular artist and the influence he has had on those who followed. \nThe Exhibition on Screen Series is generously sponsored by Goldenstein Gallery. \n“James McNeill Whistler” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre on Tuesday and Sunday\, Nov. 3 and 8 at 3:30 p.m. \nTickets 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:The Work in Progress
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Work in Progress” showing Nov. 6-12 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre. \nIf you were invited to sit at a table with someone you’ve never met before and answer handwritten questions from a wooden box about the state of America\, would you run the other way? “The Work in Progress” invites strangers from across generations and geographies to engage in candid discussions about America’s ever-evolving democracy\, identity\, and definitions of community — and where the heck we go from here.  \nGuided by questions posed by Executive Producer Robert Reich\, participants sit down in a series of conversations with one another to explore the country they’re living in now and the one they still believe is possible. \nThese encounters are intercut with portraits of Americans at work — in woodshops\, laboratories\, fields\, board rooms\, recording studios\, theaters\, and beyond. The message is simple but profound: America can work because\, in many ways\, it’s already working. And a central part of the work ahead is to reclaim the practices of dialogue\, debate\, compromise\, and perhaps most importantly\, listening\, so that we might find our footing again. \nWhat emerges in “The Work in Progress” is an unusual and provocative glimpse of America in its 250th year\, and an invitation to all Americans to pull up a chair\, invite a stranger\, and lend an ear. \n“The Work in Progress” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Nov. 6-12. Showtimes will be Friday\, Monday and Tuesday\, Nov. 6\, 9 and 10 at 3:30 p.m.; and Saturday\, Wednesday and Thursday\, Nov. 7\, 11 and 12 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:Eddie Cochran: Don't Forget Me
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Eddie Cochran: Don’t Forget Me” showing Nov. 6-12 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre. \nEddie Cochran died aged just 21\, yet his influence can still be heard in generations of artists from The Beatles and The Rolling Stones to today’s contemporary artists. \nFrom BAFTA and Academy Award-winning producers and filmmakers Goldfinch comes the first official biography on rock & roll icon Eddie Cochran. “Eddie Cochran: Don’t Forget Me” is made in partnership with the Cochran Family Estate\, chronicling the extraordinary but tragically short life of the rock & roll pioneer\, with dramatic recreations featuring Jack Harris as Eddie Cochran and Frances Barber as his mother\, Alice Cochran. \nCochran’s influence is immeasurable. At just 21\, he left behind a body of work that would inspire generations of musicians and artists. This intimate portrait weaves never-before-seen archival material with powerful testimonies from some of music’s most influential artists and cultural figures including Keith Richards\, Sting\, Rod Stewart\, Alice Cooper\, Billy Idol and more. \nFrom his heartfelt devotion to his mother to his timeless music that continues to electrify stages across the world\, this film explores the duality of Eddie’s life: a young man brimming with joy and possibility\, and an artist whose voice continues to echo long after his untimely death. \n“Eddie Cochran: Don’t Forget Me” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Nov. 6-12. Showtimes will be Friday\, Nov. 6 at 12:30 p.m.; Saturday\, Wednesday and Thursday\, Nov. 7\, 11 and 12 at 3:30 p.m.; and Sunday\, Monday and Tuesday\, Nov. 8\, 9 and 10 at 6:30 p.m.  \nTickets are $12\, or $9 for Film Festival members.

SUMMARY:Flagstaff Premiere: Old Man Lightning
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to partner with Theatrikos Theatre Company to bring movies to Downtown Flagstaff! \nThis series continues on Wednesday\, Nov. 11 with an encore screening of “Old Man Lightning” at 7:00 p.m. at Theatrikos Theatre Company. \nThe film is returning by popular demand after a sold-out show in August. \n“Old Man Lightning” may be the best climbing\, comedy\, comeback film ever made\, with a conservation twist. The film won the Best Climbing Film Award at the Banff International Film Festival and Bilbao Mendi Spain. \nCranky\, yet witty bouldering legend John “Verm” Sherman has lost his mojo and is jonesing to regain it. What better way than to climb the world’s most famous boulder problem\, Yosemite’s iconic Midnight Lightning? He climbed it 25 years ago\, but since then the climb has gotten harder and Verm’s gotten softer due to beerlust and a third-degree burning passion for bird photography. \n  \nStanding in his way is his age (57)\, weight (200 lbs)\, dozens of injuries\, and myriad health issues. Nevertheless\, he’s stubborn and determined. Verm needs to save condors from extinction\, and if leveraging his climbing celebrity will help\, he’ll stop at nothing. Verm enlists the assistance of Ryan “Meatball” Whited\, a cheerfully sadistic personal trainer and musculoskeletal guru. A 6-month mission to whip Verm back into shape ensues\, leading to a final confrontation with bouldering’s “Problem of Problems”. \nWhat could possibly go wrong in this comedic climbing comeback film? \n“I loved it. In my wildest dreams\, I could never have imagined a climbing film inspired by ‘Monty Python’ and ‘Rocky’. This movie made me laugh out loud\, but it also managed to be a poignant comeback story with the power to resonate with climbers and non-climbers alike.” — Maya Silver\, Editor-in-Chief\, Climbing Magazine \n \nThe evening includes a Q&A with the film’s director\, Dawn Kish. She is photographer and filmmaker\, who connects art\, adventure and advocacy. Kish received her first camera at the tender age of 17 and grew up in Flagstaff. Her passion for storytelling has led her to transform her captivating photographs into immersive films that have screened at The Banff Film Festival and Mountainfilm Telluride. Kish’s works have been commissioned by esteemed clients such as Audubon\, National Geographic and Patagonia. \n“Old Man Lightning” will show at Theatrikos Theatre Company on Wednesday\, Nov. 11 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 general admission and $9 for Film Festival members. \nFor tickets and more information\, please call 928-282-1177. Tickets can also be ordered in advance online at the BUY TICKETS link to the right. \n  \n \nTheatrikos Theatre Company is located at 11 W. Cherry Ave. in Downtown Flagstaff. \n  \n \nThis partnership and collaboration is made possible by a generous grant from Arizona Community Foundation of Flagstaff. \n

SUMMARY:Honorable Mr. Morgenthau
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the one-day-only Northern Arizona premiere of “Honorable Mr. Morgenthau” on Sunday\, Nov. 15 at 4:00 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre. \nMeet the filmmaker! Writer\, director and editor\, Hilan Warshaw\, will be in Sedona to host the film and do a live Q&A discussion after the screening. \nA powerful story of bigotry\, loyalty and courage which sometimes feels ripped from today’s headlines\, “Honorable Mr. Morgenthau” is a documentary about U.S. immigration policy during the Holocaust — as told through the lens of one American’s extraordinary experience. \nThroughout most of the 1930s and World War II\, the United States government deliberately kept the influx of European Jews to America well below America’s official immigration quota for that part of the world. This policy — rooted in a variety of political concerns\, as well as frequently transparent anti-Semitism — left millions with no haven from the Nazi terror\, and emboldened Hitler to transition from a policy of Jewish emigration to extermination. \nFew had a closer view of these troubling events than Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau\, Jr. The only Jewish member of the Cabinet\, and a devoted personal friend of President Franklin D. Roosevelt\, Morgenthau helped craft the New Deal economic policies that saved countless Americans from the Great Depression. A proudly assimilated and non-observant Jew\, he was careful to stay neutral about Jewish issues — knowing that FDR did not take kindly to advisors who “pull(ed) any sob stuff” regarding refugees. \nMorgenthau gradually became more disturbed about what he saw around him. Finally\, his conscience — as well as the unexpected influence of an extraordinary woman — forced him to act\, with consequences no one could foresee. \nThe film eschews many usual documentary techniques such as expert interviews and is composed almost entirely of primary source footage and documents\, supplemented by original cinematography — allowing viewers to experience these events immersively as people of the time did. \nToday\, when anti-Semitism and divisions over immigration are again on the rise\, Honorable Mr. Morgenthau offers the thought-provoking tale of a man caught in the headlights of an unprecedented horror — in an America that sometimes seems not unlike our own. \n“Honorable Mr. Morgenthau” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Sunday\, Nov. 15 at 4:00 p.m. with filmmaker Hilan Warshaw 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.

Fisher Theatre. \nCelebrate World Falconry Day with the International Raptor & Falconry Center featuring a fascinating exploration of one of humanity’s oldest and least understood traditions. \nJoin Dr. Michele Losee\, founder of the International Raptor & Falconry Center\, master falconer\, raptor ecologist\, and educator\, as she takes audiences inside the remarkable world of falconry — a living cultural tradition that has connected people and birds of prey for more than 4\,000 years. \nRecognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity\, falconry is far more than hunting with birds of prey. It represents generations of Traditional Ecological Knowledge\, a deep understanding of wildlife\, ecosystems\, and the unique partnership between humans and raptors. Today\, that knowledge continues to contribute to raptor conservation\, education\, and the preservation of cultural heritage around the world. \nThe presentation will feature at least two live birds of prey species commonly used in falconry\, offering a rare opportunity to experience these magnificent ambassadors up close while learning how they have shaped cultures across continents and continue to inspire conservation today. \nWhether you are a bird enthusiast\, conservationist\, history buff\, or simply curious about the natural world\, this engaging program offers an uncommon glimpse into a tradition few people ever have the chance to experience. \nCome celebrate World Falconry Day and discover how an ancient cultural practice remains remarkably relevant in the modern world. \n“Celebrating World Falconry Day” will take place at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Monday\, Nov. 16 at 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $15\, to benefit the International Raptor and Falconry Center. For tickets and more information\, please call 928-282-1177.

SUMMARY:Cottonwood Premiere: Eddie Cochran: Don’t Forget Me
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present “Monday Movies on Main” on Monday\, Nov. 16 with the Cottonwood premiere of “Eddie Cochran: Don’t Forget Me” at 7 p.m. at Old Town Center for the Arts. \nEddie Cochran died aged just 21\, yet his influence can still be heard in generations of artists from The Beatles and The Rolling Stones to today’s contemporary artists. \nFrom BAFTA and Academy Award-winning producers and filmmakers Goldfinch comes the first official biography on rock & roll icon Eddie Cochran. “Eddie Cochran: Don’t Forget Me” is made in partnership with the Cochran Family Estate\, chronicling the extraordinary but tragically short life of the rock & roll pioneer\, with dramatic recreations featuring Jack Harris as Eddie Cochran and Frances Barber as his mother\, Alice Cochran. \nCochran’s influence is immeasurable.

SUMMARY:One Man Symphony by Fiddler on the Rock
DESCRIPTION:Can a Single Violin Heal the Soul? Discover Tyler Carson’s “One Man Symphony” in Sedona on Tuesday\, Nov. 17 at 7:00 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre\, presented by the Sedona International Film Festival. \n“One Man Symphony by Fiddler on the Rock” is a one-of-a-kind violin concert featuring symphony soloist and multi-genre looper violinist\, Tyler Carson\, Fiddler on the Rock. \nThe concert features Tyler as a ‘one man symphony’ of sound\, thanks to the special effects and live recorded ‘looping’ that he utilizes to build layers of violin as rhythm\, percussion and interweaving melodies as “Living Music”. Along with his original music and often spontaneous live creations that flow from the energy of the audience and moment\, you may hear songs like ‘All Along the Watchtower’ (Jimi Hendrix)\, ‘Hallelujah’ (Leonard Cohen)\, and amazing mashups of popular songs that you have to hear to believe! Every moment is original\, inspirational heart centered music to sweep you away in musical wonder. \nWhen doctors said he’d never speak again Tyler Carson (Fiddler on the Rock) trusted in faith that recovery was possible. Traveling the world while sharing joy playing the violin\, his speech returned and Tyler discovered a music unlike any other through his fiddle\, his loop pedal and his audience united as one. He calls it “Living Music”. \n \n‘One Man Symphony’ is the inspirational concert experience that brought CBS Mornings to Sedona to create a feature piece on Tyler as Fiddler on the Rock. The debut national airing led to an encore airing in “best of the year” episode where he was featured alongside Dolly Parton. Through the evening you will experience the journey that took him from monthly botox injections in his throat\, to lessons with Josh Groban’s singing coach and from India to A-list celebrity house concerts; altogether\, a journey illuminating illness as an opportunity instead of an unending struggle. Uplifting\, inspiring and healing\,’One Man Symphony’ will wrap you in the hopeful promise of success through adversity and remind us all that the “impossible” is only a bold step yet to be taken. \nTyler exudes\, “I’m always so happy to play at Mary Fisher theater because it’s where it all started for me in Sedona and planted the seed of what became Fiddler on the Rock. Everyone who attends\, supports and curates this venue becomes a part of the music. I’m so grateful and enthused to play here again!” \n \nRecent testimonials from media and internationally acclaimed artist Lindsey Stirling suggest there’s a reason things keep getting better and better for Tyler: \n“What an inspiring young man.” — Natalie Morales\, CBS Mornings \n“That was so fun! You’re such a great player.” — Lindsey Stirling\, global music superstar & violinist \n“Sheer brilliance! Tyler is a musical genius.” — Patrick Schweiss\, Sedona International Film Festival \n \nABOUT TYLER CARSON\nTyler Carson has discovered a new genre for the violin: Living Music. Growing up trained as a classical violinist (professional symphony soloist age 13\, first violin Canadian National Youth Orchestra) and a folk ‘fiddler’ simultaneously (MainStage folk festivals\, opening for Brooks&Dunn\, The Chieftains and Irish Rovers)\, Tyler was always headed in a unique direction. One Man Symphony embodies the rebirth of this musician’s life who toured to multiple continents in person and on TV as a child star and culminated as a featured performer on the Jerry Lewis Telethon between Savion Glover and Jason Alexander at age 16. As an adult and matured artist Tyler’s music constantly seeks to redefine expectation\, “I’ve never felt that music came from me; it always felt like it came through me.” \nA musical turning point came for Tyler when he traveled to India in February 2013. He was asked to perform a solo violin performance in Auroville ‘International City of Peace’ in south east India. The performance occurred at the end of a deep spiritual process and graduate project as an Integrative Energy Healer. Tyler was blessed to have the performance recorded and featured on Auroville radio. The first performance of its kind\, it became his debut solo album “Living Violin”. Since then a synergy has followed his musical exploration as a solo violinist. Meditation practices have opened a direct heart centric musical expression enhanced by technique derived through tai-chi and qi-gong coached by local Master Rob Mann and world renowned Master George Xu who described Tyler’s playing\, “your body and his instrument vibrate together as one”. In performance and connected heart to heart with an audience\, his art can only be described as Living Music. \n“One Man Symphony by Fiddler on the Rock” takes the stage on Tuesday\, Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre. Tickets are $44 general admission; $55 VIP tickets (includes premium seating\, a personalized signed album and a complimentary glass of wine). \nFor 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:Arvel Bird's Mythical Animal Totems Concert
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to an extraordinary evening with the acclaimed violinist Arvel Bird\, affectionately known as “The Celtic Indian”. Join us on Wednesday\, Nov. 18 at 4:00 pm at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre\, for a performance that promises to be truly spellbinding. \nThis concert features the debut of Arvel’s latest series\, “Mythical Animal Totems\,” alongside brand-new music and videos from his signature “Animal Totems” collection. For centuries\, legends of supernatural beasts and fantasy creatures have captivated our imaginations. Arvel brings these myths to life through powerful orchestral rock compositions that capture the raw energy of the Azure Dragon\, the transformative spirit of the Phoenix\, the grace of the Unicorn\, the divine allure of the Mermaid\, and the formidable strength of the White Tiger\, among others. \nArvel’s mastery of the violin seamlessly weaves together genres of classical\, rock\, Celtic\, Latin\, and folk influences into a mystical tapestry of sound. To complete the immersive experience\, his music will be accompanied by the stunning visual artistry of Karen Reedstrom. Using cutting-edge technology\, she has created captivating “mini-cinematic movies” that will light up OTCA’s ‘cyclorama’ rear screen and provide a beautiful backdrop themed to Arvel’s musical performance. \n \nAbout Arvel Bird:\nCeltic fusion recording artist\, Arvel Bird\, is known around the world for his dramatic connection between Celtic and Native American traditions\, creating a musical experience that audiences love. Dubbed “Lord of the Strings” by fans and music critics\, his music evokes the soul of North American history and is thoroughly entertaining\, but also enlightening and humanizing. In a language and experience that captures the hearts and imagination of his audience. Reviewers have said\, “He’s emotional without being condescending\, intellectual without being pretentious.” One measure of any art form is when the medium is so finely executed that it becomes transparent\, allowing its message to be seen\, heard\, and felt. Arvel Bird is known for this level of performance art. \nAs a violinist\, flutist\, and composer\, Arvel was named by the prestigious Cowboy and Indian Magazine as one of the top 4 favorite Native American Musicians\, along with Buffy St. Marie and R. Carlos Nakai. \nWhen asked about his diverse background\, Arvel explained\, “I studied classical music for 11 years primarily so I could learn to play the violin and then go in my own direction. Celtic music was where I branched out first. It’s much like classical music in that it takes a lot of technique to play. It’s demanding and precise with a lot of ornamentation both with the left hand and the bow hand. Of course\, I have played a lot of other styles of music like Old Time fiddle\, bluegrass\, country\, blues\, jazz\, and rock\, but I always maintained my chops by playing Celtic music.” \nJoin us for this very unique concert experience\, featuring the debut of Arvel’s latest series\, “Mythical Animal Totems\,” alongside brand-new music and videos from his signature “Animal Totems” collection. \nArvel Bird will take the stage at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Wednesday\, Nov. 18 at 4 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door.

SUMMARY:Giant — The Play
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theaters around the globe for the worldwide premiere of “Giant — The Play” showing Nov. 19 and 22 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres. \n“Giant” — the 5-star critically acclaimed play starring John Lithgow as Roald Dahl — comes to the big screen. Winner of 3 Olivier Awards including Best Play and a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play (John Lithgow)\, the production was filmed live in London’s West End ahead of its sold-out Broadway run. The stellar cast includes Aya Cash\, Elliot Levey and Rachael Stirling. \nA world-famous children’s author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And one chance to make amends … It’s the summer of 1983\, The Witches is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl is making last-minute edits.

Across a single afternoon at his family home\, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation\, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation.  \nInspired by real events\, “Giant” explores with dark humor the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric offering a complicated portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon. \n“The most thought-provoking play of the decade.” — The Times \n“Giant — The Play” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre on Thursday\, Nov. 19 at 6:30 p.m. and at the Mary D.

SUMMARY:To Have and Have Not
DESCRIPTION:Northern Arizona University and the Sedona International Film Festival are partnering to present The Classics\, a monthly classic film series. \nNAU/SIFF Classics will be curated and hosted by School of Communication Professor Emeritus Paul Helford. \nThe series will continue on Thursday\, Nov. 19 with “To Have and Have Not”. \nBogey met Bacall. He was 44; she was 19. Director Howard Hawks bet Ernest Hemingway he could make a great movie from the author’s worst novel. The result? A legendary screen romance\, the electrifying debut of Lauren Bacall\, and one of the most enduring classics of Hollywood’s Golden Age. \nThe story begins with a fishing trip. Filmmaker Howard Hawks reportedly boasted to pal Ernest Hemingway that he could make a movie from the novelist’s “worst book” — the “goddamned piece of junk” called “To Have and Have Not”. Hawks and Hemingway outlined the screenplay\, which screenwriters Jules Furthman and William Faulkner transformed into a very different story. \nThe novel is set in Key West and Cuba; the film moves the action to Martinique\, where Bogart’s Harry Morgan becomes involved with French Resistance fighters. Hawks discovered 19-year-old Lauren Bacall on a magazine cover. Her extraordinary chemistry with Bogart launched a legendary screen romance and lifelong marriage. With Hoagy Carmichael on piano\, the film delivers wit\, romance\, adventure\, and sheer entertainment. \nPaul Helford will introduce the film\, provide historical and artistic context\, and lead a discussion following the movie. \nA lifelong film lover Helford has taught and written about films for over 50 years. As a television station manager and award-winning producer\, he produced and hosted a weekly classic TV film show. He’s taught high school and college film classes. At NAU he started the film program major in 2006 and has co-directed and co-hosted the NAU College of Arts and Letters film series since 2004. \n“To Have and Have Not” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Thursday\, Nov. 19 at 3:00 p.m. Tickets 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.
