    Sigourney Weaver and Margaret Qualley star in new film at Fisher Theatre

    Sedona Internatonal Film FestivalSedona AZ (February 24, 2021) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of the acclaimed new drama “My Salinger Year” showing March 5-11 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    A wide-eyed aspiring writer (Margaret Qualley) lands a dream job as assistant to the iconic old-world literary agent (Sigourney Weaver) representing J.D. Salinger in “My Salinger Year”, directed by Philippe Falardeau.

    New York in the 90s: After leaving graduate school to pursue her dream of becoming a writer, Joanna gets hired as an assistant to Margaret, the stoic and old-fashioned literary agent of J. D. Salinger.

    Fluctuating between poverty and glamour, she spends her days in a plush, wood-panelled office — where dictaphones and typewriters still reign and agents doze off after three-martini lunches — and her nights in a sink-less Brooklyn apartment with her socialist boyfriend.

    Joanna’s main task is processing Salinger’s voluminous fan mail, but as she reads the heart-wrenching letters from around the world, she becomes reluctant to send the agency’s impersonal standard letter and impulsively begins personalizing the responses. The results are both humorous and moving, as Joanna, while using the great writer’s voice, begins to discover her own.

    “A pair of knockout performances. It’s a casting triumph.” — The Times UK

    “Philippe Falardeau’s gentle adaptation is full of charm and intelligence.” — The Arts Desk

    “My Salinger Year” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre March 5-11. Showtimes will be 4 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 5, 6 and 7; and 7 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, March 10 and 11.

    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.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
