‘Peace, Love and Misunderstanding’& ‘Under African Skies’
June 26th – 29th, 2012
Location: Mary D. Fisher Theatre
Tickets:$12/$9 for Film Festival Members

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present  ‘Peace, Love and Misunderstanding’, ‘Under African Skies’, and National Theatre of London:’One Man, Two Guvnors’ at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre this week in Sedona.

• ‘Peace, Love and Misunderstanding’
  Two-time Academy Award-nominated director Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy and Mao’s Last Dancer) showcases a brilliant performance from two-time Academy Award-winner Jane Fonda in “Peace, Love and Misunderstanding”.For uptight Manhattan lawyer Diane (Oscar-nominee Catherine Keener), crazy means driving her teenage son Jake and daughter Zoe to Woodstock to visit their grandmother Grace (Jane Fonda). The crazy part is that the kids have never met Grace. In fact, Diane hasn’t spoken to her mother in twenty years. Grace is the epitome of the term “hippie”: she stages protests and hootenannies in the town square, smokes (and sells) a lot of dope, and howls at the moon once a month with her goddess-worshipping girlfriends….Read More
  Showtimes: 4:00 pm June 26th & 27th, 7:00 pm June 28th & 29th.
• ‘Under African Skies’
  New documentary film chronicling the controversial recording of “Graceland” and its subsequent impact — and enduring influence — on world music and pop culture, premiered to rave reviews at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. “Under African Skies” travels with Paul Simon back to South Africa, a quarter century after the making of “Graceland”. He revisits the making of the record, surveying from the vantage of history the turbulence and controversy surrounding the album’s genesis. His artistic decision to collaborate with African musicians created a new world musical fusion, combining American and African musical idioms while igniting an intense political crossfire, with Simon accused of breaking the UN cultural boycott of South Africa designed to end the Apartheid regime…Read More

• National Theatre of London:’One Man, Two Guvnors’
  The National Theatre of London comes to Sedona on Saturday, June 30 when the Sedona International Film Festival hosts the big screen premiere of the outrageous British comedy “One Man, Two Guvnors.” There will be one show at 2:00 pm. “One Man, Two Guvnors” was nominated for 7 Tony Awards, including a win for Best Actor for James Corden. The comedy by Richard Bean is based on Carlo Goldoni’s “The Servant of Two Masters”. James Corden stars as “Francis Henshall” (“one man”). Always-famished and easily-confused, Henshall agrees to work for a local gangster as well as a criminal in hiding (“two guvnors”), both of whom are linked in a tangled web of schemes and romantic associations — none of which Francis can keep straight… Read More
