    Sedona Internatonal Film FestivalSedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of the acclaimed new documentary “The Torch” showing April 2-7 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    At 85, Chicago legend Buddy Guy remains the standard bearer for the blues — an icon determined to see the art form live on long after he’s gone. Enter young guitar phenom Quinn Sullivan, who has been mentored by Guy since he was a kid.

    Buddy Guy is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a major influence on rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago’s fabled West Side sound, and a living link to the city’s halcyon days of electric blues. Buddy Guy has received 8 Grammy Awards, a 2015 Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award, the Billboard Magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, a Kennedy Center Honor, and the Presidential National Medal of Arts.

    “I always look forward to getting whatever time we can with him (Buddy Guy), because you walk away and you feel like there’s been this amazing knowledge dropped on you,” said Derek Trucks, who is featured in the film.

    “I vividly remember sitting in my interview with Derek Trucks and having a sense of relief wash over me when he said those words,” said director Jim Farrell.

    “There was an understanding among Buddy Guy and his peers – last man standing needs to make sure the music lives on. When B.B. King died in 2015, that promise became reality. He was already grooming his teenage protégé, Quinn Sullivan, but the urgency became palpable. The goal of ‘The Torch’ was to pull back the curtain on this process and watch it unfold over time.”

    “The Torch” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre April 2-7. Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, April 2, 3 and 4; and 4 on Wednesday and Thursday, April 6 and 7.

    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.

    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.
