Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the encore of “The Room Next Door” on Thursday, May 22 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
“The Room Next Door” is the third film on the four-week “Heartful Living, Gentle Dying” film series.
Join us for this thought-provoking journey and discover what it means to be alive and connected to humanity, and how we might die with grace and dignity on our own terms. This profound glimpse into life and death explores how we view our purpose, our relationships, and the possibilities inherent in the gentle dying process.
“The Room Next Door” — award-winning filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar’s first feature film in English — features a stellar ensemble cast led by Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore and includes John Turturro and Alessandro Nivola. Swinton was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her role in this film.
Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton) were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid went on to become an autofiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter. Eventually, they were separated by the circumstances of life. After years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation.
The “Heartful Living, Gentle Dying” film series is co-sponsored by Accord Hospice and Palliative Care and Arizona Elder Care & Senior Support.
“The Room Next Door” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Thursday, May 22 at 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 general admission, or $9 for Film Festival members.
