    Sedona AZ (March 20, 2017) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present William Shakespeare’s “Titus Andronicus” the film adaptation for one show only: Friday, March 24 at 4 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    The filmmaker, Ian Coles-Ketcham, will be in Sedona to host the premiere event and conduct a Q&A following the film screening.

    Of all of Shakespeare’s plays, the most controversial is “Titus Andronicus”. For three hundred years, it was rarely performed. It was considered too violent. Now we know better.

    “Titus Andronicus” is a lost classic; a tale that demands to be told. In summer of 2014, a group of Indiana University students set about creating a feature film adaptation. The world they crafted is familiar, if not quite our own.

    The Roman Empire has morphed into an American Empire. These alternative United States find themselves constantly at war. After a decade and several long campaigns, the general Titus Andronicus is returning home. He quickly becomes embroiled in a savage plot that threatens to consume him and his entire family.

    “Titus Andronicus” is a tale of war, trauma and revenge. It is an intimate look at how violence affects the human psyche. It is the most brutal work by one of the greatest storytellers of all time.

    At its core, “Titus Andronicus” is pure Shakespeare. It paints the vivid portrait of a man who gives everything in service of this country and, in return, is publically disgraced and has his family ripped away from him. Titus is a man living under extraordinary circumstances; no more evil nor no more a monster than any one of us. Just a man pushed too far.

    Come experience a contemporary adaptation of this classic, and join filmmaker Ian Coles-Ketcham for a thought-provoking Q&A following the screening.

    “Titus Andronicus” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Friday, March 24 at 4 p.m. Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177

    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→
