    Sedona AZ (January 17, 2017) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Sedona premiere of the rousing, good-hearted tale “The Women’s Balcony” showing Jan. 27-Feb. 1 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “The Women’s Balcony” was nominated for five Israeli Academy Awards and has been a hit with audiences and critics around the world. Sedona is one of the first theatrical stops for this feel-good comedy after winning top awards and acclaim from prestigious international film festivals.

    “The Women’s Balcony” is a dramatic comedy about community, old traditions and values and the power of women to keep all of these together in the face of modern extremism.

    An accident during a bar mitzvah celebration leads to a gender rift in a devout Orthodox community in Jerusalem, in this rousing, good-hearted tale about women speaking truth to patriarchal power.

    Charismatic young Rabbi David appears to be a savior after the accident, but slowly starts pushing his fundamentalist ways and tries to take control. This tests the women’s friendships and creates an almost Lysistrata-type rift between the community’s women and men.

    “Viewers will leave the theater in a joyous mood.” — Variety

    “A very human and funny story.” — The Jerusalem Post

    “The Women’s Balcony” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Jan. 27-Feb. 1. Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Friday and Monday, Jan. 27 and 30; and 4 p.m. on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 29, 31 and Feb. 1.

    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.

    Baby Boomer Hippies
    Baby Boomer Blues
    By Tommy Acosta
    If you are a Baby Boomer and are reading this, STOP right now and click off the page because it’s one of the most depressing things I have ever written. But if you are in the mood to wallow in darkness and self-pity, read on. Baby Boomers, what happened? Has time so betrayed us, now, that we are but a decade or two away from finishing our stay here on this planet? What happened to those of us who grew our hair, protested against the unjust wars of our time and dominated three decades with the best music ever made and played? Looking back at videos of us at concerts, rocking to the Beatles, Stones, Yes, Prince, The Who, Metallica, Cream, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Kiss, etc., we look at ourselves and we are fat, old, or bald. Sickness racks us. Body parts are failing, and we are getting closer and closer to our expiration date. We had dreams. We thought we would bring peace to the world. We marched in great numbers on Washington against the killing war in Viet Nam. We wanted to bring an end to evil. And we failed. Miserably. Read more→
