    Sedona Film Festival hosts big-screen presentation of art series at Mary D. Fisher theatre

    Sedona Internatonal Film FestivalSedona AZ (February 22, 2021) – Sedona International Film Festival continues its Art on Screen series with “M.C. Escher: Journey to Infinity”. The event will show in Sedona on Tuesday, March 2, at 4 and 7 p.m. at the festival’s Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “M.C. Escher: Journey to Infinity” is the story of world famous Dutch graphic artist M.C Escher (1898-1972). Equal parts history, psychology, and psychedelia, Robin Lutz’s entertaining, eye-opening portrait gives us the man through his own words and images. Diary musings, excerpts from lectures, correspondence and more are voiced by British actor Stephen Fry, while Escher’s woodcuts, lithographs, and other print works appear in both original and playfully altered form.

    Two of his sons, George (92) and Jan (80), reminisce about their parents while musician Graham Nash (Crosby, Stills & Nash) talks about Escher’s rediscovery in the 1970s. The film looks at Escher’s legacy. One can see tributes to his work in movies, in fiction, on posters, on tattoos, and elsewhere throughout our culture. Indeed, few fine artists of the 20th century can lay claim to such popular appeal.

    “Witty, touching and illuminating. As we listen to a choice selection of Escher’s words, exuberantly delivered by Stephen Fry, we see – in stills, clips, and animation – how Escher’s ingenious notions and preoccupations become works of art.” — Teller (of Penn & Teller)

    “This film makes a fitting tribute. Escher is a very modern artist who appears to belong to a time that we’ve left behind. The world is much better for his presence.” — CinePhil

    The Art on Screen Series is generously sponsored by Goldenstein Gallery.

    “M.C. Escher: Journey to Infinity” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Tuesday, March 2 at 4 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $15, or $12.50 for Film Festival members.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
