Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Daaaaaali!” showing Oct. 18-23 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne0XY22ZFh4 For journalist Judith Rochant (Anaïs Demoustier) the assignment to interview renowned artist Salvador Dalí is a great career opportunity — if only he would agree to sit still and answer a single question. What begins as a 15-minute conversation blows up into a bonafide cinematographic documentary portrait, provided the world’s most enormous cameras are available to film it.

Sedona, Az — Dear Editor — I am writing in response to the front-page article dated October 2, 2024, regarding the unmarked signs that appeared in Sedona. Red Rock News reporter Tim Perry’s assertion that these signs are merely political statements misrepresents the intention behind them. As the designer and installer of the signs on Cooks Hill and Brewer Rd., I want to clarify that they are not political but expressions of free speech supporting the Sedona City Council’s vote on a crucial local zoning change. These signs comply with state regulations, as is my right to express my views on…
… a long but fun day as we drove up to Peach Springs in search of raptors and critters of all kinds. We were spectacularly unsuccessful finding only a single Red Tail Hawk perched on a pole with his head bisected by power lines … few ravens and that was about it. Stopped by a friends home on the way back and had a nice visit and got some shots of their Alpacas one of which is above … brings a smile to your face! The shot below I took a number of years ago when I was ridge soaring…
