    Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams” showing Dec. 9-15 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres.

    “Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams” is a portrait of a man whose vision, passion, and craftsmanship made him “shoemaker to the stars,” an architect of Hollywood magic, and an enduring cultural, fashion, and artistic influence.

    Growing up poor in Bonito, Italy, Salvatore Ferragamo began his career as a shoemaker before he was barely a teenager. Immigrating to America in 1915 at the age of 16, his work would soon help invent the glamour of Hollywood’s silent era as he created shoes for iconic films including “The Thief of Bagdad” and “The Ten Commandments” and for stars including Gloria Swanson, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks, many of whom became his friends.

    Overcoming a Depression-era setback, Ferragamo rebounded and would define mid-century elegance for performers including Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davis, Rita Hayworth, and Ingrid Bergman — all while embarking on a love story and warm family life with his wife, Wanda, and their six children.

    In “Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams”, Academy Award-nominated and BAFTA-nominated filmmaker Luca Guadagnino tracks Ferragamo’s life from humble beginnings to California and to a storied studio in Florence, Italy.

    The film features Emmy-nominated actor Michael Stuhlbarg narrating Ferragamo’s 1955 memoir; a trove of 100-year-old archival footage; an extraordinary “shoe ballet” created by stop-motion artist Pes; and incisive commentary by Martin Scorsese, Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Vogue Creative Director Grace Coddington, Deadline Film Critic Todd McCarthy, Wanda Ferragamo, and Wanda and Salvatore’s children and grandchildren.

    “Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams” is a must-see for those how love Hollywood, the movies and fashion!

    “Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres Dec. 9-15. Showtimes will be 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 9; 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 11; 6:30 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday, Dec. 12 and 14; and 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, Dec. 13 and 15.

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
