    Sedona AZ (July 3, 2015) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premieres of “Felix & Meira” and “In the Name of My Daughter” (starring Catherine Deneuve) showing July 10-15 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    FELIX & MEIRA

    In “Félix and Meira”, an intimate connection is forged between two lost souls who inhabit the same neighborhood, but vastly different worlds.

    Hadas Yaron (of the internationally acclaimed film “Fill the Void”) returns to the big screen in Maxime Giroux’s Felix and Meira, a story of an unconventional romance between two people living vastly different lives mere blocks away from one another.

    Meira (Yaron), a young Hasidic housewife and mother, and Félix (Martin Dubreuil), a man lost in mourning the recent death of his father, unexpectedly meet at a local bakery in Montreal’s Mile End district. What starts as an innocent friendship becomes more serious as the two wayward strangers find comfort in one another. As Felix opens Meira’s eyes to the world outside of her tight-knit Orthodox community, her desire for change becomes harder for her to ignore, ultimately forcing her to choose: remain in the life that she has always known or give it all up to be with Félix.

    Giroux’s film is a poignant tale of self-discovery, a fascinating glimpse into the Hasidic community, and a modern love story set against backdrops both familiar and unknown. “Felix & Meira” is set against the backdrops of Montreal, Brooklyn, and Venice, Italy.

    “Felix & Meira” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre July 10-15. Showtimes will be 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, July 10 and 11; and 7 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, July 13, 14 and 15. 

    IN THE NAME OF MY DAUGHTER

    20150703_In-the-Name1Acclaimed director André Téchinè brings a gripping real-life thriller to the screen. 1976: When her marriage falls apart, Agnès Le Roux (Adéle Haenel) moves back to the South of France from Africa to live with her mother, Renée (Catherine Deneuve), owner of the Palais de La Mediterranée casino in Nice. There, Agnès falls in love with Maurice Agnelet (Guillaume Canet), a lawyer and Renee’s business advisor, who is ten years her senior. Maurice continues to have relationships with other women. Agnes is madly in love with him.

    As a shareholder in the Palais de la Mediterannée casino, Agnes decides to sell what should have been her inheritance to go it alone. A fixed card game threatens the casino’s financial stability. Someone is trying to intimidate her mother. Behind the scenes hangs the shadow of the mafia and Fratoni, the owner of a rival casino, who wants to take over the Palais de la Mediterannée. Agnelet, who has fallen from grace with Renée, introduces Agnes to Fratoni. Fratoni offers her 3 million francs to vote against her mother in the shareholder’s meeting. Agnès accepts the offer. Renee loses control of the casino. Agnès finds it hard to cope with her betrayal. Maurice also distances himself from her.

    In November 1977, Agnes disappears. Her body is never found. Thirty years on, Maurice Agnelet remains the prime suspect in a murder case with no body and no proof of his guilt. Convinced of his involvement, Renée is prepared to fight to the bitter end to see him put behind bars.

    “In the Name of My Daughter” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre July 10-15. Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, July 10 and 11; and 4 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, July 13, 14 and 15. 

    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 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.
