    Sedona AZ (September 10, 2016) – The documentary film of the ground-breaking, blockbuster exhibition “David Bowie Is” — created by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London — is being re-released in cinemas worldwide and will be screening at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre in Sedona on Thursday, Sept. 22. The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present this special event. There will be two shows that day at 4 and 7 p.m.

    Described by The Times as “stylish & outrageous” and The Guardian as “a triumph”, the “David Bowie Is” exhibition was the fastest-selling in the Victoria and Albert’s history, featuring a remarkable collection of handwritten lyrics, original costumes, fashion, photography, film, music videos, set designs, Bowie’s own instruments and album artwork from the David Bowie Archive.

    The film takes the audience on a fascinating journey through the exhibition with special guests including legendary Japanese fashion designer Kansai Yamamoto, Pulp front-man Jarvis Cocker, and other collaborators, to explore the stories behind some of the key objects that document Bowie’s artistic career. The exhibition curators, Victoria Broackes and Geoffrey Marsh, provide expert insight into the most memorable music videos and original costumes, as well as more personal items such as never-before-seen handwritten lyrics, album cover artwork, set designs and diary entries, which reveal the creativity and evolution of Bowie’s ideas.

    20160910_david-bowie-is_poster“David Bowie’s far-reaching influence on cultural life is unparalleled, and the film offers illuminating detail about key objects from the David Bowie Archive with commentary from special guest contributors and a fantastic soundtrack,” said the exhibition curators.

    The “David Bowie Is” exhibition is on a global tour that has already travelled to Toronto, São Paulo, Berlin, Chicago, Paris, Melbourne and Groningen in The Netherlands to universal acclaim. The documentary was directed by Hamish Hamilton, the BAFTA winning director of the Academy Awards and the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

    “David Bowie Is” will show at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Thursday, Sept. 22 at 4 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
