Sedona International Film Festival and Workshop
|
|
Lovers of independent films will celebrate the best in cinematic art, amid unparalleled scenic beauty, February 24 – March 1, in Sedona. The occasion is the 15th annual Sedona International Film Festival, named the “Fest to Impress” by MovieMaker Magazine. This year’s extravaganza promises to be bigger and better than ever — now expanded to six full days! With the annual Oscar party kicking off the festivities, the 15th anniversary celebration is now nearly a week of film activities and screenings! Already recognized by filmmakers and audiences as one of the top festivals in the nation, the 2009 edition will continue a tradition of honoring those whose love for making timely, moving films drives them. The festival honors filmmakers motivated by passion for their art, not box office revenues. From comedy to tragedy, from small-town America to places around the world, independent filmmakers take audiences on journeys to emotional and geographic places many have not visited. The festival kicks off with the annual “Evening at the Academy Awards” on Sunday, February 22, followed by Monday night preview films that are sure to get film enthusiasts in the mood for more than 135 of the best independent films over the next six days.
