    “Americanish” invites viewers into the home and lives of three marriage-aged women as they navigate the often-turbulent waters of romance, culture, career, and family. We follow the joys and tribulations of career-driven sisters Maryam and Sam Khan, and their fish-out-of-water cousin Ameera.

    Set in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York, the film follows a relatable and endearing storyline offering a fresh perspective on classic rom-com tropes. “Americanish” delves into the complexity of trying to both honor and break from cultural traditions while balancing personal values and career goals in a society that does not always accommodate both.

    “Americanish” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon and Mary D. Fisher Theatres Oct. 20-26. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 20, 21 and 22 at 3:30 p.m.; Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, Oct. 23, 24 and 26 at 6:30 p.m.; and Wednesday, Oct. 25 at 7:00 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. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.
