The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona theatrical premiere of “Wisdom of Happiness” showing Oct. 24-30 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

From executive producers Richard Gere and Oren Moverman comes “Wisdom of Happiness” — a heart-to-heart with the Dalai Lama. The film was a hit when it premiered at the 2024 Sedona International Film Festival. It is now returning to Sedona for its theatrical debut.

“Wisdom of Happiness” shows us a timeless truth: happiness is still possible, even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. This powerful message of hope is delivered as a personal audience with one of the greatest living thinkers, Nobel Peace Prize winner Tenzin Gyatso, known to billions around the world as the Dalai Lama.

Speaking as a member of our single global community, he shares practical wisdom for finding peace, compassion, and hope in the midst of chaos. With disarming clarity and deep humanity, he invites us to imagine — and help create — a world where compassion is activated as our strongest force for change, and happiness is within reach for everyone.

“Wisdom of Happiness” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Oct. 24-30. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday and Monday, Oct. 24, 25 and 27 at 3:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 26, 28, 29 and 30 at 6:30 p.m.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Spinal Tap II: The End Continues” showing Oct. 24-30 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres.

Forty-one years after the release of the groundbreaking mockumentary “This Is Spinal Tap”, the now estranged bandmates David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls (Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer) are forced to reunite for one final concert.

“Spinal Tap II: The End Continues” also marks the resurrection of documentarian Marty Di Bergi (Rob Reiner), who once again tries to capture his favorite metal gods as they contemplate mortality — and the hope that their 12th drummer doesn’t join them in The Great Beyond.

Joined by music royalty Paul McCartney and Elton John, Spinal Tap wrestles with their checkered past to put on a concert that they hope will solidify their place in the pantheon of rock ’n' roll.

“Spinal Tap II: The End Continues” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres Oct. 24-30. Showtimes will be Friday, Monday and Thursday, Oct. 24, 27 and 30 at 4:00 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 25 at 12:30 p.m.; and Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 28 and 29 at 7:00 p.m.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The True Story of Tamara de Lempicka & The Art of Survival” showing Oct. 24-30 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

“The True Story of Tamara de Lempicka & the Art of Survival" traces the life and survival of the renowned painter through her powerful artwork. Through groundbreaking, never-before-seen 8mm home movies and newly-discovered birth and baptism certificates, the film reveals her true name, heritage, and identity for the first time, changing art history.

The film covers her rise to international stardom in 1920s Paris, her move to the United States to flee fascism in 1940, and her revival in the current art market. This remarkable refugee reinvented herself multiple times through two wars, embodying talent, resilience, passion, and a relentless pursuit of artistic freedom despite the horrors she lived through. This bisexual, Jewish artist had the will to be great and to be seen in a world that did not always want to see her.

One of Lempicka’s notable collectors, Barbra Streisand, provides exclusive access to images of her private collection, while Madonna pays tribute by featuring Lempicka's imagery in her videos and her latest world concert tour. Anjelica Huston lends her narration, sharing personal stories.

The film showcases Lempicka’s enduring popularity, highlighted by one of her paintings recently selling at auction for over $21.1 million, marking the third highest price ever paid for a work by a modern female artist.

Throughout the film, we delve deeper into insights from our comprehensive interviews, uncovering profound perspectives from Tamara de Lempicka's family, distinguished art historians, collectors, and other notable figures. Broadway star Eden Espinosa, recently honored with a Tony Award nomination for her portrayal of Tamara de Lempicka in 'Lempicka’ The Musical, along with the show's creators, offers compelling viewpoints. Additionally, curators of the 2024 retrospective at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco enrich the audience's exploration.

The documentary provides a deep and illuminating look into the life and legacy of Tamara de Lempicka, who broke down barriers and opened doors for female artists. She conveyed her struggle, turmoil, and truth onto the canvas, where her humanity stares back at you, exposing her secrets for all to witness. A brilliant, brave artist, the hero of her own story, she left behind a legacy that continues to inspire and captivate.

You know her paintings, now you will know her name.

“The True Story of Tamara de Lempicka & The Art of Survival” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Oct. 24-30. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday and Monday, Oct. 24, 25 and 27 at 6:30 p.m.; and Tuesday and Thursday, Oct. 28 and 30 at 3:30 p.m.

Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.
