    Sedona AZ (October 5, 2016) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premieres of the critically-acclaimed new films “The Hollars” and “Come What May” showing Oct. 14-19 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    THE HOLLARS

    An all-star ensemble cast is featured in John Krasinski’s new dramatic comedy “The Hollars”, including Margo Martindale, Richard Jenkins, Anna Kendrick, Charlie Day and Krasinski himself.

    John Hollar — a struggling NYC artist — is forced to navigate the small middle-American town he left behind when news of his mother’s illness brings him home. Back in the house he grew up in, John is immediately swept up in the problems of his dysfunctional family, high school rival, and an over-eager ex-girlfriend as he faces impending fatherhood with his girlfriend in New York.

    From a script by Jim Strouse that is at turns hilarious and heartbreaking, John Krasinski’s second feature is a poignant look at the bonds of family and friendship.

    “My sincere hope for this film — and the reason I am so drawn to this kind of human story — is that it will resonate differently with every person who sees it,” said Krasinski. “Whatever your background or experience, big family or small, the family you were born into or the one you’ve created, ‘The Hollars’ can be at once universal in its themes and uniquely personal in its heart and sense of humor.”

    “Fiercely funny. Margo Martindale’s hilarious and heartbreaking performance is proof positive that she’s one of the best actors on the planet.” — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone Magazine

    “One of the best ensemble casts of the year. Characters about whom you really care!” — Jeffrey Lyons, Lyons Den Radio/WCBS Radio

    “The Hollars” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Sept. Oct. 14-17. Showtimes will be 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 14 and 15; and 7 p.m. on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday, Oct. 16, 17 and 19.

    COME WHAT MAY

    May 1940. Millions abandon all they have. A father searches for his son.

    To escape the imminent German invasion, the inhabitants of a small village in northern France flee their homes, like so many millions of their compatriots. Max, a German boy, travels with them. His father, Hans (August Diehl), opposed the Nazi regime and was imprisoned in Arras for having lied about his nationality. Hans is eventually set free and sets off to find his son, accompanied by a Scottish soldier (Matthew Rhys) who is trying to get back home.

    “Come What May” is Christian Carion’s fourth film, largely based on his mother’s memories of the French Exodus of May 1940. Back then, eight million people left their lives behind to flee the advancing Nazi war machine and to try and make a life for themselves elsewhere.

    “Beautiful, poignant and illuminating. You can’t help being caught up in the heroism and humanity.” — Rex Reed, New York Observer

    “One of the finest, most poignant movies of this or any other year.” — Jeffrey Lyons, Lyons Den Radio/WCBS Radio

    “A quietly moving, breathtaking and captivating war film that’s grounded in humanism.” — Avi Offer, The NYC Movie Guru

    “Come What May” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Sept. Oct. 14-17. Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 14 and 15; and 4 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday, Oct. 17 and 19.

    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 Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
