Sedona, AZ — The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to partner with Unify Sedona to present “LGBTQ+ Shorts” on Monday and Friday, June 2 and 6, at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre in observation of Pride Month.
This special shorts program will feature a selection of audience favorite LGBTQ+ films from recent Sedona Film Festivals.
The lineup will include:
BUSCANDO ALMA: A Honduran immigrant is given the chance to meet her mother after nearly two decades of separation. As she grapples with the uncertainty of their reunion, she is confronted by tumultuous memories of her past.
PARKER AND THE GREEN DRESS: A queer teen is torn between prom dreams and the fear of disappointing her grandmother. A chance encounter with an elderly woman, who harbors her own hidden truth, sparks a journey of mutual discovery. Together they confront the secrets that shape their lives. Can they embrace their truths before time slips away?
THIS IS JAN: Alone in a hotel, Jan has the solitude and freedom to shed the identity imposed on them by the tight constraints of the era’s societal norms. Relieved of that burden, Jan relishes the opportunity to transform into the person they believe they truly are. Bolstered by newfound confidence, they push their own boundaries, only to discover that nothing is as it seems. When compelled to decide between what the world expects of them and who they want to be, Jan embraces who they truly are.
OUT SMART: In this short satire, a teenage boy seeks acceptance from his parents when he ‘comes out’ — not as gay, but as smart.
The shorts will be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Dawn Cobalt, director and editor of “Out Smart”.
The screenings of “LGBTQ+ Shorts” are sponsored by Unify Sedona.
“LGBTQ+ Shorts” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Monday, June 2 at 7:00 p.m. and Friday, June 6 at 4:00 p.m.
