    Winner of Best International Film Audience Choice Award returns to Fisher Theatre

    Sedona Internatonal Film FestivalSedona AZ (January 20, 2021) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona encore of the multiple award-winning film “The Silent Revolution” showing Jan. 29-Feb. 4 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “The Silent Revolution” is a gripping and true story set in 1956 in East Germany. A group of students saw their life changed forever by a harmless human act of solidarity during the early stage of the Cold War

    “The Silent Revolution” is a gripping and true story set in 1956 in East Germany. A group of students saw their life changed forever by a harmless human act of solidarity during the early stage of the Cold War, where freedom of thinking and integrity could make anyone an enemy of the state — or an ordinary hero. This is a film about the extraordinary courage of young individuals in a time of political oppression.

    The year is 1956. During a visit to the cinema in West Berlin, high school pupils Theo and Kurt see dramatic pictures of the Hungarian uprising in Budapest on the newsreel. Back at school in Stalinstadt, they spontaneously decide to hold a minute’s silence in solidarity with the victims of the uprising during a lesson.

    The gesture causes much bigger ripples than expected: while their headmaster initially tries to put the whole thing down to the whim of youth, the schoolchildren become objects of the political machinations of the fledgling East Germany. The People’s Education Minister condemns the action as a clearly counterrevolutionary act and demands that the ringleader be named within a week. But the schoolchildren stick together, thus facing with a decision that will change their lives forever.

    “The ripple effect of a seemingly quite innocent idea and the subsequent, disproportionate reaction to it is fascinating to watch.” — Hollywood Reporter

    “This is a solid piece of filmmaking which is elevated by a clutch of strong performances from the young cast.” — Screen International

    “The Silent Revolution” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Jan. 29-Feb. 4. Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 29, 30 and 31 and 4 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 1, 3 and 4.

    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→
