    Sedona AZ (May 2, 2017) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Sedona encore of “A Quiet Passion” — by acclaimed British Director Terence Davies and starring five-time Golden Globe nominee Cynthia Nixon and Keith Carradine — showing May 12-17 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “A Quiet Passion” recently premiered at the Sedona International Film Festival to rave reviews and top audience ratings. It is making a return to Sedona by popular demand.

    Cynthia Nixon personifies the wit, intellectual independence, and pathos of 19th Century American poet Emily Dickinson in this masterful biographical drama — “A Quiet Passion” — from acclaimed director Terence Davies.

    The great and singular poet Dickinson requires a one-of-a-kind filmmaker to tell the story of her life, and in Davies she has found a soulmate. Davies exquisitely evokes Dickinson’s deep attachment to her close-knit family along with the manners, mores and spiritual convictions of her time that she struggled with and transcended in her poetry.

    The film follows the poet from her rebellious college days to her increasingly reclusive life in the bosom of her family, eventually to her painful death.

    As Dickinson, Cynthia Nixon gives a career-defining performance that captures the acerbic wit, ferocious independence and increasing bitterness of a woman whose genius went unrecognized in her lifetime.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
