Sedona Film Festival Presents The Wild Horse Redemption
|
|
The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Arizona premiere of the award-winning documentary feature “The Wild Horse Redemption” as part of its “Best of Fest” film series. There will be two screenings of the film at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on July 29, at Harkins Sedona Six Theatres. The film’s writer/director, Academy Award-winner John Zaritsky, will be in Sedona to host the movie and present a Q&A discussion following the screenings. Zaritsky has won more than 30 awards for his documentary films, including the 1982 Oscar for Best Documentary feature for “Just Another Missing Kid.” “The Wild Horse Redemption” was an audience and critical sensation at the Toronto International Film Festival where it made its world premiere. It has since gone on to garner numerous awards at festivals around the world. At a prison in the high desert foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, hardened criminals are taught the training methods of ‘horse whisperers’ to tame and saddle-train wild mustang horses taken from the herd that roams government lands. Failure means one more defeat for the inmate; success could save both lives. Can a wild creature be rehabilitated and socialized for safe interaction with humans? Can two wild creatures – prisoner and mustang – help each other to a better life? “The Wild Horse Redemption” follows the men and mustangs of the Wild Horse Inmate Program through one training cycle. Staff member McEnulty guides experienced inmate trainers as they try to teach new trainees how to break horses fresh from the range. Some won’t make it. With spectacular footage and raw emotion, “The Wild Horse Redemption” is about man and nature in one of the rare instances where the balance between the two seems to be working out just about right. The title sponsor for the event is the Desert Canyon Treatment Center in Sedona. The lodging host is Sedona Rouge Hotel & Spa. The series is also made possible by a grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts and National Endowment for the Arts and the City of Sedona. The film will be shown at Harkins Sedona Six Theatres on Tuesday, July 29, at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $10, or $8 for Film Sedona members, and will be available starting at 3 p.m. in the Harkins lobby. Cash or checks only are accepted and seats are limited. Film Sedona members can purchase tickets in advance at the Sedona International Film Festival office, 1785 W. Hwy 89A, Suite 2B, or by calling 928-282-1177. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.com. |
