    logo_SIFFSedona AZ (April 25, 2019) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Public” May 5-8 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    In “The Public”, an unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the public library where the action of the film takes place.

    In “The Public”, an unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the public library where the action of the film takes place.

    At odds with library officials — librarians Stuart Goodson (Emilio Estevez) and Myra (Jena Malone) — over how to handle the extreme weather event, some homeless patrons turn the building into a shelter for the night by staging an “Occupy” sit in. What begins as an act of civil disobedience becomes a stand-off with police and a rush-to-judgment media constantly speculating about what’s really happening.

    This David versus Goliath story tackles some of our nation’s most challenging issues, homelessness and mental illness and sets the drama inside one of the last bastions of democracy-in-action: your public library.

    “Fantastic … a feel-good crowd-pleaser.” — We Live Entertainment

    “Laugh-out-loud funny.” — Steve Oldfield, Warm 98.5

    “The Public” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre May 5-8. Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Sunday and Monday, May 5 and 6; and 4 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 7 and 8.

    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.
