    Sedona AZ (February 3, 2016) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premieres of “45 Years” and “The Benefactor” showing Feb. 12-18 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    45 YEARS

    “45 Years” has earned the title of the Best Reviewed Film of the Year from critics around the globe, who are calling the film breathtaking, exquisite, masterful and the greatest love story of the year!

    The films’s star, Charlotte Rampling, has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in what Time Magazine calls “a performance for the ages!”

    While preparing for their 45th anniversary, Kate and Geoff’s marriage is shaken with a discovery that calls into question the life they’ve built together. Screen legends Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay won Best Actress & Best Actor at the Berlinale for this emotional tour-de-force from acclaimed director Andrew Haigh.

    Kate and Geoff Mercer are poised to celebrate their anniversary with a party, when Geoff receives a letter that shakes both of them. The letter, from Switzerland, lets him know that a body has been found: that of Katya, his girlfriend before Kate, who died falling into a fissure in a glacier when the couple were on a walking holiday in 1962. Geoff tells Kate that he was regarded as Katya’s next-of-kin, since they had been intending to be married. Though Kate continues to prepare for the party, and the couple shares some romantic excitement about it, she becomes increasingly disturbed by Geoff’s preoccupation with Katya.

    As the celebrations grow closer, they delve further into their past, leaving their future in question.

    “One of the best films of the year,” raves Stephen Holden of The New York Times. “Charlotte Rampling is majestic!”

    “Simply divine!” says David Fear of Rolling Stone Magazine. “There’s screen acting and then there’s what the legendary Charlotte Rampling is doing!”

    “45 Years” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Feb. 12-18. Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 12; 1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 13; and 4 p.m. on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, Feb. 14, 16 and 18. 

    THE BENEFACTOR

    Richard Gere, Dakota Fanning and Theo James star in the critically-acclaimed, audience sensation “The Benefactor”

    A newly married couple (Fanning and James) are forced to navigate the all-consuming interest of a powerful, mysterious, and possessive philanthropist (brilliantly played by Richard Gere).

    In “The Benefactor”, an iconoclastic philanthropist, Franny (Gere), survives a devastating accident that kills his two best friends. But four years later, he is still struggling with the guilt and pain. When his late friends’ daughter Olivia resurfaces with a new husband and a baby on the way, Franny tries to overcome his emotional and physical suffering by inserting himself into their lives.

    Outrageously charming and limitlessly infuriating, Franny hands his young friends undreamt-of opportunities while attempting to micro-manage their lives in ever more intrusive ways. “The Benefactor” is a bravura portrait of a larger-than-life personality in crisis. Now, Franny’s looking back and searching for meaning at an age when you’re expected to have that all figured out.

    “The Benefactor” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Feb. 12-17. Showtimes will be 4 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, Monday and Wednesday, Feb. 12, 13, 15 and 17. 

    Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.

    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→
