    Sedona Internatonal Film FestivalSedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of the powerful and compelling new drama “A Shot Through the Wall” showing Jan. 21-27 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    The compelling feature debut of Aimee Long, this troubling, fact-based film touches on of-the-moment themes that have become part of the public dialogue — from racial politics to the role of the media in manipulating public sentiment and meting out justice.

    When a young Chinese-American cop, Mike Tan (Midway’s Kenny Leu), accidentally shoots an innocent Black man in Brooklyn, the police close ranks. His family and even his Black fiancée encourage him to get over his feelings of guilt and remorse, until his rock-solid case begins to unravel.

    Based loosely on a 2014 event that ignited local tensions, “A Shot Through the Wall” forces audiences to consider the soul of the perpetrator, rather than that of the victim, and is given added emotional resonance due to world events of the last few years.

    “A Shot Through the Wall” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Jan. 21-27. Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 21, 22 and 23; and 4 p.m. on Monday and Thursday, Jan. 24 and 27.

    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.
