    Sedona AZ (May 16, 2019) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Sedona premiere of the acclaimed new dramatic thriller “Red Joan” May 24-30 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    Academy Award-winner Dame Judi Dench stars in “Red Joan” alongside a stellar ensemble cast, including Sophie Cookson and Tom Hughes. The film is directed by Trevor Nunn.

    There are two sides to every traitor’s story.

    Joan Stanley (Judi Dench) is a widow living out a quiet retirement in the suburbs when, shockingly, the British Secret Service places her under arrest. The charge: providing classified scientific information — including details on the building of the atomic bomb — to the Soviet government for decades, in the new dramatic thriller “Red Joan”.

    Joan Stanley (Judi Dench) is a widow living out a quiet retirement in the suburbs when, shockingly, the British Secret Service places her under arrest. The charge: providing classified scientific information — including details on the building of the atomic bomb — to the Soviet government for decades.

    As she is interrogated, Joan relives the dramatic events that shaped her life and beliefs: her student days at Cambridge, where she excelled at physics while challenging deep-seated sexism; her tumultuous love affair with a dashing political radical (Tom Hughes); and the devastation of World War II, which inspired her to risk everything in pursuit of peace.

    Based on a sensational true story, “Red Joan” vividly brings to life the conflicts — between patriotism and idealism, love and duty, courage and betrayal — of a woman who spent a lifetime being underestimated while quietly changing the course of history.

    “A taut old-school spy thriller with a bewitching modern heroine.” — Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter

    “A gripping story of one woman’s life — and a world-altering decision.” — Monica Reid, Far Out Magazine

    “An intimate view from the lens of a real woman’s life during the war.” — Beth McDonough, Birth. Movies. Death.

    “Red Joan” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre May 24-30. Showtimes will be 4 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, Monday and Thursday, May 24, 25, 27 and 30; and 7 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 28 and 29.

    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.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
