    Sedona AZ (April 18, 2014) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present its premiere series with the one-night-only debut of “Particle Fever” on Wednesday, April 30. There will be two shows at 4 and 7 p.m. at the festival’s Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “Particle Fever” follows the inside story of six brilliant scientists seeking to unravel the mysteries of the universe, documenting the successes and setbacks in the planet’s most significant and inspiring scientific breakthrough.

    For the first time, a film gives audiences a front row seat to a significant and inspiring scientific breakthrough as it happens. “Particle Fever” follows six brilliant scientists during the launch of the Large Hadron Collider, marking the start-up of the biggest and most expensive experiment in the history of the planet, pushing the edge of human innovation.

    As they seek to unravel the mysteries of the universe, 10,000 scientists from over 100 countries joined forces in pursuit of a single goal: to recreate conditions that existed just moments after the Big Bang and find the Higgs boson, potentially explaining the origin of all matter. But our heroes confront an even bigger challenge: have we reached our limit in understanding why we exist?

    Directed by Mark Levinson, a physicist turned filmmaker, and masterfully edited by Walter Murch (Apocalypse Now, The English Patient, The Godfather trilogy), “Particle Fever” is a celebration of discovery, revealing the very human stories behind this epic machine.

    “ ‘Particle Fever’ succeeds on every level,” says Todd McCarthy from the Hollywood Reporter. Kenneth Turan from the Los Angels Times calls it “smashingly captivating”. And Joshua Rothkopt from Time Out New York raves “ ‘Particle Fever’ is that rare, exhilarating science doc that’s neither dumbed down nor drabbed up.” All major critics agree that it is a profound film!

    “Particle Fever” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Wednesday, April 30 at 4 and 7 p.m. 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.

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
