    Sedona AZ (April 12, 2018) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of the award-winning new documentary “Itzhak” — showing April 20-26 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    From Schubert to Strauss, Bach to Brahms, Mozart to … Billy Joel, Itzhak Perlman’s violin playing transcends mere performance to evoke the celebrations and struggles of real life; “praying with the violin,” says renowned Tel Aviv violinmaker Amnon Weinstein.

    Alison Chernick’s enchanting documentary “Itzhak” looks beyond the sublime musician to see the polio survivor whose parents emigrated from Poland to Israel, and the young man who struggled to be taken seriously as a music student when schools saw only his disability.

    Itzhak himself is funny, irreverent and self-deprecating, and here his life story unspools in conversations with masterful musicians, family and friends, and most endearingly his devoted wife of 50 years, Toby. Itzhak and Toby’s lives are dedicated to their large, loving, Jewish family in NYC and their continual support of young musicians.

    As charming and entrancing as the famous violinist himself, “Itzhak” is a portrait of musical virtuosity seamlessly enclosed in warmth, humor, and above all, love. It also reminds us why art is vital to life.

    Critics and audiences are cheering and raving about “Itzhak”.

    “A love story on so many levels: Perlman’s love of music, of the violin, of life itself!” — Ray Rogers, The Hollywood Reporter

    “A musical masterpiece. Captures the life, work and heritage of world-famous violinist Itzhak Perlman.” — Vicki Leopold, Atlanta Jewish Times

    “Briskly entertaining.” — Dennis Harvey, Variety

    “Itzhak” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre April 20-26. Showtimes will be 3 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, April 20 and 21; 4 and 7 p.m. on Monday, April 23; and 4 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, April 24 and 26.

    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→
