    Sedona AZ (April 21, 2017) – You have seen TED Talks. But you have never experienced TED — the global phenomenon propelled by ideas that are transforming the world — until now. TED Cinema Experience will bring TED’s flagship event, TED2017: The Future You from Vancouver, Canada, to cinema audiences around the world in three big screen events.

    The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present these events at its Mary D. Fisher Theatre the first three Tuesdays in May. The festival is branding these “TED Talk Tuesdays” and will feature each event at 7 p.m. The three events will include: TED Opening Night (May 2), TED Prize Event (May 9) and TED Highlights Exclusive (May 16). Audience members can purchase single event tickets or tickets for all three.

    Awe. A sense of wonder. Life changing. Inspirational. All words used to describe the experience that is TED. Now TED Cinema Experience brings TED2017 to you.

    TED2017 will explore the deepest scientific and psychological insights, the latest medical advances, and thrilling new inventions (all mixed with a dose of ancient wisdom), and will ask questions about our present and future selves that we often don’t have time for. The program will feature a succession of extraordinary speakers — risk-takers, visionaries, celebrities, and an emerging generation of idea creators — who will deliver the “talk of their lives” in TED’s world-famous TED Talk format. 

    Through the TED Cinema Experience series, we all have access to the TED experience, giving us the opportunity to have our curiosity sparked, minds opened, and worlds shifted — together through three community viewing events on cinema screens. See the world in new ways through your participation in TED Cinema Experience.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. 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. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
