Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theaters around the country for a nationwide theatrical event: “I Am the Immaculate Conception” showing Dec. 12, 14 and 17 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres.
“I Am the Immaculate Conception” is how Mary, the Mother of God, introduced herself to St. Bernadette in 1858 in Lourdes, France. During the season of Advent and Christmas, a new documentary film invites audiences to ponder why Mary presents herself this way.
In the film, a group of eminent experts, including the Marian Fathers, analyze Greek texts of the Holy Scripture, revelations and the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. The result is a new interpretation of passages of the Scripture revealing Mary, the Mother of Christ, and her extraordinary role in the divine plan for the salvation of the world.
“I Am the Immaculate Conception”, via application of the latest technologies, using the virtual LED studio, and a traditional scenography, transports audiences to the eternal acts of the Holy Family-over 2000 years ago-to participate in the most crucial moments of Mary and Jesus’ lives, such as the miracle at the Wedding at Cana, the Last Supper and Golgotha.
“I Am the Immaculate Conception” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres Dec. 12, 14 and 17. Showtimes are Thursday, Dec. 12 at 4:00 p.m.; Saturday, Dec. 14 at 3:30 p.m.; and Tuesday, Dec. 17 at 7:00 p.m.
Tickets are $12 general admission, 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.
