    Sedona AZ (May 10, 2018) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of the new drama “Little Pink House” — showing May 18-23 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    Based on a true story, a small-town paramedic named Susette Kelo (Catherine Keener) is starting over after a messy divorce. She buys a rundown cottage in New London, Connecticut, refurbishes it with her own hands, paints it pink, meets a great guy (Callum Keith Rennie), and exhales.

    Meanwhile, the governor (Aaron Douglas) devises a plan. If he can rescue New London’s sagging economy, he’ll win re-election and position himself nicely for national office. The first step is to convince a big corporation to relocate to the blue-collar town. The governor taps Dr. Charlotte Wells (Jeanne Tripplehorn) to lead the redevelopment effort. She is ambitious, accomplished, and the closest thing the gritty town has to a celebrity.

    Charlotte attracts the attention of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, whose execs are looking to expand their facilities because they have high hopes for a soon-to-be-released drug called Viagra. But there’s a problem — the city plans to bulldoze Susette’s neighborhood to clear the way for a new development that would support Pfizer’s new research headquarters.

    With the help of a young lawyer, Susette emerges as the reluctant leader of her neighbors in an epic battle that goes all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, inspires a nation, and helps millions of Americans protect their homes.

    “The bottom line: it hits a nerve; unmistakable timeliness; excellent performances! Jeanne Tripplehorn performs with force and complexity. ‘Little Pink House’ brings urgency to a fascinating, underexplored theme.” — The Hollywood Reporter

    “Catherine Keener nails the combination of anger, grace, and attitude that made Susette Kelo a nationally known crusader.” — Deadline Hollywood

    “Little Pink House” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre May 18-23. Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Friday, Sunday and Monday, May 18, 20 and 21; and 4 p.m.on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 22 and 23.

    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.
