    This special encore is a delightful treat to celebrate Vincent van Gogh’s birthday March 30th. The film screening will be followed by a live, in-person Q&A with the filmmakers.

    “Starry Night,” written and directed by Sedona resident Paul Davids (“The Life After Death Project”) and produced by he and his wife, Hollace Davids, has proven popular at many film festivals (including the Sedona International Film Festival) and has won the audience choice award at the Newport Beach Festival.

    Originally distributed to TV by NBCUniversal, this whimsical fantasy has Vincent van Gogh returning to life in our era for 100 days. Vincent (played by Abbott Alexander) is astonished at what a success he has become (he only sold one painting during his lifetime), and he wants to collect the fortune that his paintings are now worth for the benefit of struggling artists everywhere.

    However, he is up against attorneys, art collectors and museums that consider him an impostor. Worse, he is targeted as a con-man, a fraud, and a homeless art thief when he begins to “steal” back his paintings. He is arrested, and art fraud detective (Sally Kirkland) is determined to have him convicted.

    With the help of an ambulance-chasing attorney (Lou Wagner) and a lovely art student who believes in him (Lisa Waltz), is there any possible way that he can prove to a disbelieving world that he really is Vincent van Gogh?

    “Starry Night” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Thursday, March 30 at 4 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.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
