    Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is turning 30 this year, and to celebrate, we are rolling back the clock and bringing encore screenings of hit independent films from the past 30 years to the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre on the 30th of each month!

    “Little Miss Sunshine” was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It won two Oscars: Best Supporting Actor for Alan Arkin and Best Original Screenplay for Michael Arndt. It also garnered a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Abigail Breslin.

    This special celebration kicks off with the encore screenings of “Little Miss Sunshine” on Sunday, July 30 — celebrating the festival’s 30 anniversary season and in honor of Alan Arkin, one of the stars of the film who recently passed away.

    “Little Miss Sunshine” was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It won two Oscars: Best Supporting Actor for Alan Arkin and Best Original Screenplay for Michael Arndt. It also garnered a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Abigail Breslin.

    Father Richard (Greg Kinnear) is desperately trying to sell his motivational success program … with no success. Meanwhile, “pro-honesty” mom Sheryl (Toni Collette) lends support to her eccentric family, including her depressed brother (Steve Carell), fresh out of the hospital after being jilted by his lover.

    Then there are the younger Hoovers — the seven-year-old, would-be beauty queen Olive (Abigail Breslin) and Dwayne (Paul Dano), a Nietzsche-reading teen who has taken a vow of silence.

    Topping off the family is the foul-mouthed grandfather (Alan Arkin), whose outrageous behavior recently got him evicted from his retirement home.

    When Olive is invited to compete in the “Little Miss Sunshine” pageant in far-off California, the family piles into their rusted-out VW bus to rally behind her — with riotously funny results.

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
