#Sedona International Film Festival

[denimbex1986]

'The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of ‘All of Us Strangers’ showing Jan. 26-Feb. 1 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres.

‘All of Us Strangers’ is receiving rave reviews from critics and audiences around the world and features a stellar ensemble cast, including Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Jamie Bell and Claire Foy. Andrew Scott received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance in the film.

One night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, Adam (Andrew Scott) has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbor Harry (Paul Mescal), which punctures the rhythm of his everyday life.

As a relationship develops between them, Adam is preoccupied with memories of the past and finds himself drawn back to the suburban town where he grew up, and the childhood home where his parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell), appear to be living, just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before.

“Haunting and heartbreaking. The promise of movie magic is exquisitely fulfilled.” — The Los Angeles Times

Interview of Tim Daly at the Sedona International Film Festival for the short movie All Through The Night.

“Also, at the time, my girlfriend’s father was struggling with something called dementia Lewy body, so the issue was present in my life.

I don’t know that I’ll ever get her to see the movie because it might be difficult for her.”

The Mary D. Fisher Theatre is proud to present the acclaimed new drama “The Power of the Dog” showing for a limited time: Dec. 3-5.

“The Power of the Dog” stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst, and is written and directed by Academy Award-winner Jane Campion.

Set in Montana in the 1920s, Campion’s hotly anticipated new film is an enthralling revisionist western awash in sublime expanses and nuance, capturing a landscape and a people driven by the fantasy and folly of western expansion.

Adapted from Thomas Savage’s novel of the same name, “The Power of the Dog” tells the story of successful rancher brothers George (Jesse Plemons) and Phil (Benedict Cumberbatch) Burbank, whose relationship sours when the more mild-mannered George marries local widow Rose

Charismatic rancher Phil Burbank (Benedict Cumberbatch) inspires fear and awe in those around him. When his brother brings home a new wife Rose (Kirsten Dunst) and her son Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee), Phil torments them until he finds himself exposed to the possibility of love.

Rose and Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee) arrive at the Burbank ranch — seemingly wholesome and naïve — and attempt to fit into the family’s complex dynamic of new money, but are continually stymied by an unspoken brotherly bond.

Cumberbatch shines in this ferocious performance as a cowboy to the core, whose hurtful, macho quips toward Peter and his mother hint at a simmering menace and a capacity for erratic cruelty; a kind of camouflage that only serves to repress deep-seated trauma and latent desire.

Proving once again that she is one of today’s greatest filmmakers, Campion delivers a fascinating study of masculinity and internal torment.

“The Power of the Dog” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre for a limited run Dec. 3-5. Showtimes will be 1 and 4 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 3; 4 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 4; and 7 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 5.

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.

This is a short (17+ minutes) documentary about the effects of rhino poaching in South Africa upon the poachers. Description from African Wildlife Foundation:

Sides of a Horn, an award-winning film that has sparked conversation about Africa’s poaching crisis, will be released worldwide on June 25, 2019.

Movie lovers across the world will now have an opportunity to watch the short dramatic movie which this year won, among others, the audience choice award at the Sedona International Film Festival and the jury prize at the Manchester International Film Festival.

The short film, written and directed by Toby Wosskow, from executive producer Sir Richard Branson, was an international co-production between US companies Broad River Productions, Whirlow Park Pictures, and Frame 48, alongside South Africa’s The Televisionaries and YKMD Productions.

"The poaching crisis is a complex issue and the conversation around it must go beyond simple right and wrong. By painting an unbiased portrait of this modern war and exposing both sides of the struggle, it is my hope that Sides of a Horn will be a catalyst that inspires a greater discussion that can lead to positive change,” said Toby Wosskow, who is also a council member at the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF).

The movie was filmed in South African townships and is predominantly in Zulu with English subtitles. With a 17-minute run-time, it explores the illegal rhino horn trade, specifically looking at how community and family dynamics are disrupted when two brothers find themselves on opposite sides of the poaching crisis.
