    Sedona AZ (July 16, 2016) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to partner with the Mental Health Coalition Verde Valley to present the Northern Arizona premiere of the multiple award-winning film “A Light Beneath Their Feet” showing Monday, July 25. There will be one show only at 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “A Light Beneath Their Feet” stars SAG award winning actress Taryn Manning (Orange is the New Black) and Madison Davenport (From Dusk ‘Til Dawn).

    The film offers a moving and genuine look at living with mental illness. An audience favorite on the festival circuit (winner of the Audience Choice at Mill Valley), “A Light Beneath Their Feet” has the support of numerous mental health organizations including Glenn Close’s Bring Change 2 Mind.

    Emotionally raw and bracingly honest, this coming-of-age drama balances the pull of family obligation against personal aspirations.

    In a commanding performance, SAG award winning actress, Taryn Manning plays Gloria, a mother, wrestling with bipolar disorder and an imminent empty nest. Dedicated daughter Beth has a bright future ahead, but must decide if she will stay near home to care for her unpredictable mom or follow her own path.

    “Ultimately moving, ‘A Light Beneath Their Feet’ is a triumph of empathetic filmmaking!” raves Matt Fagerholm, RogerEbert.com.

    ” ‘A Light Beneath Their Feet’ boasts outstanding, nuanced, empathetic performances by Taryn Manning and Madison Davenport and a sensitive portrayal of a mother-daughter relationship,” says Katherine Brodsky, Variety.           

    “Really beautiful and most endearing. ‘A Light Beneath Their Feet’ is heart-wrenching and beautiful in its authenticity, all without producing stigma against mental illness in the portrayal or the film!” says Pamela Harrington, Executive Director of Bring Change 2 Mind.     

    “A Light Beneath Their Feet” will show at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Monday, July 25 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members.

    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.
