    Oscar Winners, Familiar Faces, 145 Films Will Fill The Week

    Sedona International Film FestivalSedona AZ (December 5, 2011) – Academy Award winners, up-and-comers and old friends will complement and enhance the weeklong experience surrounding the 145 films to be screened at the 18th annual Sedona International Film Festival, from Feb. 18-26.

    Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne returns with his favorite classic films; Academy Award-winning producer, artist and costume designer Kathleen Glynn (Bowling for Columbine, Farenheit 911) will moderate and host this year’s workshops, one of which, “Composing Music for Film,” will be led by Oscar-winning lyricist and five-time nominee Don Black (Born Free); Oscar-winning screenwriter Robert Moresco (Crash) will be in town as will actress Lea Thompson. And that’s just the beginning.

    Advance-sale passes for the weeklong festival and workshops are now available online with 20 percent discounts on most packages ordered before Dec. 31, 2011.

    Workshops, which are open to the public, will be scheduled every morning from Tuesday through Saturday during Festival week when the 145 full-length features, shorts, documentaries, animated films, foreign films and student films will be scheduled.

    “We are in the process of finalizing entries and appearance commitments from directors, actors, screenwriters and producers whose names will certainly create a buzz,” said Executive Director Patrick Schweiss. “The momentum is building.”

    Among the early highlights of this year’s Festival will be an appearance by Kevin Clash, the puppeteer featured in the documentary, Being Elmo, which won the Special Jury Prize for Documentary at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. The film is narrated by Whoopi Goldberg.

    This year, a special midweek jazz concert in partnership with the Arizona Music Festival will feature the renowned Brubeck Brothers and the screening of the new biographical film, In Good Time, The Piano Jazz of Marian McPartland on Wednesday, Feb. 22 at the Sedona High School Performing Arts Center.

If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you.
