SUMMARY:American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez” showing Sept. 3-10 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres. \nMEET THE FILMMAKERS on preview night: Thursday\, Sept. 3 at 7:00 p.m. Writer/director/producer David Alvadaro and producer Everett Katigbak will be in Sedona to host the preview night film and post-screening Q&A discussion! \nAgainst political resistance and industry skepticism\, Luis Valdez pushes Chicano storytelling from the fields to the film screen with “Zoot Suit” and “La Bamba”\, crafting iconic works that challenge\, celebrate\, and expand America’s story. \n \nAn auteur emerges from America’s underclass: from migrant farmworker to revolutionary artist\, Luis Valdez changed American culture. In the 1960s\, his El Teatro Campesino performed on flatbed trucks and helped mobilize workers to win the first farmworker union contract. His “Zoot Suiet” was the first Chicano play on Broadway. \nDespite critical rejection that killed the show\, he persevered\, creating “La Bamba” — a breakout blockbuster that authentically depicted Mexican American life to the world. Now in its 60th year\, El Teatro continues to be a beacon for Latino/a creators. This is the story of an artist who gave voice to the overlooked and opened pathways for generations. \nThe film features Lou Diamond Phillips\, Cheech Marin\, labor activist Dolores Huerta\, Linda Ronstadt\, and Edward James Olmos (who narrates the film\, reprising the role of “Zoot Suit’s” El Pachuco). \n“Inventive and engaging.” — The Playlist \n“Enlightening and entertaining.” — The Hollywood Reporter \n“American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres Sept. 3-10. Showtimes will be Thursday\, Sept. 3 at 7:00 p.m.; Friday\, Wednesday and Thursday\, Sept. 4\, 9 and 10 at 6:30 p.m.; and Sunday\, Monday and Tuesday\, Sept. 6\, 7 and 8 at 3:30 p.m. \nTickets are $12\, or $9 for Film Festival members.

SUMMARY:Chris Murphy: Live in Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present violinist Chris Murphy: Live in Concert on Monday\, Sept. 7 at 7:00 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre. \nChris Murphy is an international touring violinist\, singer-songwriter\, and multi-instrumentalist whose powerful live performances blend Americana\, Folk\, Jazz\, Celtic\, World music\, and improvisation into what he calls a “live film score.” \n   \nBased in Los Angeles\, Murphy performs more than 200 concerts each year throughout the United States and Europe\, captivating audiences with expressive violin playing\, heartfelt songwriting\, and an engaging stage presence. \nWhether performing intimate original songs or expansive instrumental soundscapes\, Murphy’s music explores themes of love\, loss\, redemption\, hope\, and resilience. \n“Both wily\, charismatic performer and fire-breathing virtuoso of the violin\, Chris Murphy crams more musical mileage into short set than most players do in an entire tour.” — Future Music Magazine \n \nABOUT CHRIS MURPHY\nChris Murphy grew up in an Irish-Italian family near New York City\, surrounded by the disparate sounds of his neighbors’ traditional music: Italian mandolin songs\, pulsing Latin rhythms\, and bracing Irish rounds. Eventually falling under the spell of late\, great multi-instrumentalist David Lindley (Jackson Browne\, Ry Cooder\, Bob Dylan) Murphy went on to explore Turkish and Indian music at Bard College and studied composition at Boston’s prestigious New England Conservatory of Music. \nSince then\, Murphy has hypnotized crowds in more than forty US states\, done extensive tours of England\, Belgium \, and The Netherlands\, and amassed a breathtakingly deep catalog of over 500 works. His over fifteen original albums — including 2023’s brilliant “The Road & the Stars” — boast A-list players from the Tom Waits band\, Wilco\, X\, The Desert Rose Band\, Elvis Costello\, and the Buena Vista Social Club. \n“To me\, music is liquid\,” Murphy explains thoughtfully. “I’ll twist and turn\, and hammer and mold\, and shape\, cut\, and paste the music to create a fresh experience for my audience at all costs.” \nChris Murphy: Live in Concert takes the stage at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Monday\, Sept. 7 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance; $30 at the door and include a meet-and-greet with Chris Murphy in the lobby after the show. \nClick on the BUY TICKETS link to the right to order tickets online\, or call 928-282-1177 to order by phone.

SUMMARY:Hanging By A Wire
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Hanging By A Wire” showing Sept. 11-16 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre. \n“Hanging By A Wire” is the gripping true story of a daring cable car rescue that captivated the world. \nOn the morning of August 22\, 2023\, eight passengers — six of them schoolboys — board a makeshift cable car for what should be a routine commute to school in the mountains of northern Pakistan. Midway across a deep ravine\, two of the three supporting cables snap. The gondola lurches violently and comes to rest\, suspended more than 900 feet above the ground by a single damaged wire. \nWhat follows unfolds in real time over the course of one harrowing day — a survival ordeal shaped by uncertainty\, escalating danger\, and the relentless pressure of being watched. The rescue plays out live on national television and social media\, captured from every angle: panicked families on the ground\, military helicopters battling high winds\, fi rst responders scrambling for solutions\, drones circling overhead\, and footage fi lmed from inside the cable car itself as hours pass and darkness approaches. \nWith no margin for error and a cable that could fail at any moment\, an unlikely alliance of rescuers must improvise under intense public scrutiny — racing against an invisible clock before disaster strikes live on television. \n“A true story of remarkable heroism.” — RogerEbert.com \n“As captivating as if you were there.” — Playlist \n“A documentary with all the urgency of a Hollywood disaster movie.” — Screen Daily \n“Hanging By A Wire” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Sept. 11-16. Showtimes will be Friday and Wednesday\, Sept. 11 and 16 at 6:30 p.m.; Saturday\, Sept. 12 at 12:30 p.m.; and Sunday and Tuesday\, Sept. 13 and 15 at 3:30 p.m. \nTickets are $12\, or $9 for Film Festival members.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Heaven in Stone and Glass
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theaters around the globe for the worldwide premiere of “Heaven in Stone and Glass” showing Sept. 20\, 21 and 23 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon and Mary D. Fisher Theatres. \nJust beyond the doors of Europe’s Gothic cathedrals\, light pours through colored glass\, stone soars toward heaven\, and something stirs deep within the human soul. \nMillions of pilgrims and tourists visit cathedrals each year\, sensing in rose windows and sacred imagery a transcendent beauty that the secular world cannot explain. \nIn “Heaven in Stone and Glass” experience the spirituality of the gothic cathedrals with Bishop Barron. Journey across France to explore sacred mysteries built into the crown jewels of Gothic architecture: Chartres\, Notre-Dame\, Reims\, Amiens\, and Saint-Denis. \n \nWith characteristic clarity and theological depth\, Bishop Barron — bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester\, founder of Word on Fire\, and host of the acclaimed CATHOLICISM series — reveals what sacred architecture has proclaimed for centuries: God is not distant but weaves his revelation into the very fabric of creation. \n“Heaven in Stone and Glass” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre on Sunday and Wednesday\, Sept. 20 and 23 at 3:30 and 6:30 p.m. and at the Mary D.

SUMMARY:A Tribute to Sakina Blue Star
DESCRIPTION:The Sedona International Film Festival presents “A Tribute to Sakina Blue Star” on Monday\, Sept. 21 at 1:00 p.m. This event is free and open to the public and will include a screening of “The American Labyrinth III: Sounds of Freedom”. \nAt 97 years young\, Sakina Blue Star is A Warrior Woman\, A Voice for Freedom\, A Heart for Humanity. On the International Day of Peace\, we honor a woman who answered history’s call. She stands as a living testament to the power of one human being to answer the call of conscience. \n \nLong before she became a beloved and longtime resident of Sedona\, Sakina heard a call that would change the course of her life. In the 1960s\, she left behind her husband and children and traveled to Mississippi\, Alabama\, and Georgia to join the struggle for voting rights\, civil rights\, and human dignity. \nShe marched alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement and counted Congressman John Lewis as a friend. She didn’t just watch history happen. She stepped into it. \nHer journey connected civil rights\, music\, culture\, and community. Before making Sedona her home\, Sakina Blue Star owned The Turk’s Head coffeehouse on Boston’s historic Beacon Hill\, a gathering place for artists and musicians. Her coffeehouse became part of American music’s story\, and Sakina’s life intersected with legendary figures in the folk and blues tradition. She also gave a young Taj Mahal one of his early regular performance opportunities at the coffeehouse in 1964. \nIt is this extraordinary life that filmmaker Dr. Karmen Smith\, spiritual activist and consciousness guide\, seeks to honor through the documentary film “The American Labyrinth III: Sounds of Freedom”. \nThe film grew from a personal encounter. “When I first moved to Sedona\, I was greeted by a beautiful woman who took me by the hand and blessed me\,” Smith recalls in the film’s description. “Her name was Sakina Blue Star.” \nWhat began as a meeting became a deep heart-to-heart connection—and eventually a film. \n \nTHE AMERICAN LABYRINTH III: SOUNDS OF FREEDOM\n“The American Labyrinth III: Sounds of Freedom” turns its lens toward Sakina Blue Star and the countless people whose courage helped move America closer to becoming the United States. \nThe film asks a deceptively simple question: What does it mean to be free — and what are we willing to do to make freedom real for everyone? \nRather than presenting history as dates\, famous speeches\, and well-known leaders\, Sounds of Freedom explores the people who made the movement possible: those who marched\, organized\, sacrificed\, opened their homes and businesses\, challenged racism\, and refused to let fear close their hearts. \nAt the center is Sakina Blue Star — a woman whose life carries the memory of a turbulent chapter in American history while simultaneously pointing toward a future beyond division. \nThe film acknowledges what Smith describes as the “elephant in America’s living room” — racism — and explores the courage required to confront systemic racism while continuing to choose love over hatred. \nIn that sense\, “Sounds of Freedom” is more than a documentary about the past. It is a meditation on what we do with the freedom we inherited. It asks viewers to consider the millions of ordinary people whose names may never appear in history books but whose courage helped change the nation. \n \nA WARRIOR WOMAN FOR PEACE\nThe word warrior is often associated with battle. Sakina Blue Star’s life offers another definition. \nHer weapon was courage.\nHer battlefield was injustice.\nHer message was unity.\nHer victory was refusing to surrender her heart. \nNow\, at 97\, Sakina Blue Star represents something profoundly important: the possibility of growing older without growing smaller. She continues to speak about humanity\, spirituality\, love\, peace\, and the possibility that human beings can remember that we belong to one another. That message makes her story particularly meaningful on the International Day of Peace. \nPeace is not merely the absence of war. Peace requires the courage to confront the conditions that divide human beings from one another. It requires remembering. It requires telling the stories of those who stood up. And it requires asking what each generation is willing to do to move humanity closer to the ideal of One Humanity. \n \nHONORING SAKINA BLUE STAR\nThis International Day of Peace\, we honor Sakina Blue Star not because her story belongs only to the past\, but because her story challenges us in the present. She reminds us that history is not made only by presidents\, politicians\, and people whose names become monuments. \nHistory is also made by the woman who hears a call and answers. By the person who leaves the safety of home to stand beside strangers. By the person who walks into Mississippi\, Alabama\, or Georgia because somebody’s freedom matters. By the person who refuses to let hatred determine the size of her heart. And by the elder who\, nearly a century into her life\, continues to call humanity toward unity. \nSakina Blue Star is 97 years young. Her story is still being written. And The American Labyrinth III: Sounds of Freedom invites you to listen. Because freedom has a sound. \nIt sounds like people standing together.\nIt sounds like voices refusing to be silenced.\nIt sounds like courage.\nIt sounds like love.\nIt sounds like freedom. \n“A Tribute to Sakina Blue Star” will take place at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Monday\, Sept. 21 at 1:00 p.m. All tickets are free of charge. \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.
