    Sedona AZ (June 12, 2015) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the one-night-only premiere of “Iris”, an award-winning new documentary. The film will show Wednesday, June 24 at 4 and 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    The latest film from legendary documentarian Albert Maysles, “Iris” pairs the late 88-year-old filmmaker (who passed away on March 5) with Iris Apfel, the quick-witted, flamboyantly dressed 93-year-old style maven who has had an outsized presence on the New York fashion scene for decades. More than a fashion film, the documentary is a story about creativity and how a soaring free spirit continues to inspire.

    20150612_siff“Iris” portrays a singular woman whose enthusiasm for fashion, art and people are life’s sustenance and reminds us that dressing — and indeed life — is nothing but an experiment. Despite the abundance of glamour in her current life, she continues to embrace the values and work ethic established during a middle-class Queens upbringing during the Great Depression. “I feel lucky to be working. If you’re lucky enough to do something you love, everything else follows.”

    Critics are raving about “Iris”:

    “There are few better ways right now to spend 80 minutes than to see ‘Iris’,” says Manohla Dargis of the New York Times. “You can’t take your eyes off Iris Apfel, but, then, why would you want to?”

    “A grand, joyful testament,” says Richard Brody of The New Yorker.

    Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times raves “Enormously entertaining! Movie and surprisingly memorable!”

    “It’s like time spent with your coolest, funniest and most sage aunt!” says Jordan Hoffman of the New York Daily News.

    “Iris” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre one day only: Wednesday, June 24 at 4 and 7 p.m. 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.

    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→
