    Festival partners with Women For Women Learning Center for return of award-winning film

    logo_siff5_TBSedona AZ (October 15, 2019) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to partner with the Women For Women Learning Center to present the encore return of “The Valley” and filmmaker Q&As on Thursday, Oct. 24 at 4 and 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “The Valley” debuted to rave audience reviews at the recent Sedona International Film Festival — where it won the Best Impact Film “Movies into Motivation” — and is returning to Sedona by popular demand.

    “The Valley” is the story of how a diverse group of citizens from the town of Telluride fought an uphill battle against a multinational corporation to protect a 600 acre valley that is the gateway and the character of the town.

    “The Valley” is the story of how a diverse group of citizens from the town of Telluride fought an uphill battle against a multinational corporation to protect a 600 acre valley that is the gateway and the character of the town. They had three months to raise $50 million dollars or lose the land forever to development. The issue nearly tore the town apart, but ultimately brought them together to keep the valley, forever wild.

    The award winning documentary “The Valley” illustrates the power and the hope of three dedicated women who helped raise $50 million dollars in three months to save their community’s most precious resource.

    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.
