    Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the festival flashback of the delightful romantic comedy “Populaire” showing Aug. 19-24 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

    Rose Pamphyle (Déborah François) aspires to become a secretary, but she’s clumsy and helplessly disorganized, meaning she’s a disaster in the office. When she starts working for insurance man Louis Échard (Romain Duris), her one true talent starts to shine through.

    Rose reveals a special gift: she can type at extraordinary speed. Unwittingly, the young woman awakens the dormant sports fan in Louis. If she wants the job she’ll have to compete in a speed typing competition. Whatever sacrifices Rose must make to reach the top, Louis declares himself her trainer. He’ll turn her into the fastest girl not only in the country, but in the world!

    The two become locked in the grip of romance and competition as they train together for a speed-typing contest. But a love of sport doesn’t always mix well with love itself, igniting hilarious consequences.

    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.
