Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theaters around the world for a global theatrical event: “Whitney Houston: The Concert for a New South Africa” on Wednesday, Oct. 23 and Sunday, Oct. 27 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
In 1994, Whitney Houston took the stage in Durban, South Africa, making her the first major Western musician to visit the newly unified, post-apartheid nation following President Nelson Mandela’s winning election.
This performance was more than a concert; it was a celebration of freedom, hope, and unity. Whitney’s powerhouse voice and emotional delivery brought joy and inspiration to a country newly liberated.
Now, 30 years after the historic visit, “The Concert for a New South Africa” comes to the big screen for the first time. Digitally remastered in 4K and featuring newly-enhanced audio, the film captures every note, every cheer, every tear, immortalizing a night that transcended music and became a beacon of change and celebration.
“Whitney Houston: The Concert for a New South Africa” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 27 at 1:00 p.m.
Tickets are $15 general admission, or $13 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. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.
