Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “That They May Face the Rising Sun” showing April 25-May 1 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.
“That They May Face the Rising Sun” shows a year in the life of a rural, lakeside community in Ireland in the 1980s and its cast of authentic, memorable characters.
The film is an adaptation of the final novel from John McGahern, one of Ireland’s greatest novelists.
Joe and Kate Ruttledge have returned from London to live and work among a small, lakeside community in rural Ireland near to where Joe grew up. Now deeply embedded in the life around the lake, the drama of a year in their lives and those of the memorable characters that move about them unfolds through the rituals of work, play and the passing seasons as this enclosed world becomes an “everywhere”.
