    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.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
