We invite you to volunteer at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park!

The duplex-style Riordan Mansion remains one of the finest examples of American Arts and Crafts-
style architecture open to the public today. Designed by the architect of the impressive El Tovar Hotel
at the Grand Canyon, Charles Whittlesey, the homes were built in 1904 with indoor plumbing, hot
and cold running water, central heat, and electric lights, reflecting the most modern technology and
design of the time.
Seen by guided tour only, the interiors of the Riordan family homes look essentially as they did in 1904.
The homes showcase original family belongings including fine examples of early Stickley furniture.

Volunteer opportunities available include Front Desk, Interpretive Tours, Grounds and Maintenance services.

Help us preserve history, learn and share the story of Flagstaff.

Contact the Park at 928-779-4395 for more information.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Last Twins” showing Oct. 10-16 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

One man. One hope. One choice.

“The Last Twins” is the never-before-told story of an unsung hero of the Holocaust, Erno “Zvi” Spiegel, who risked everything to save dozens of young twins from almost certain death at Auschwitz.

Under the shadow of Dr. Josef Mengele’s horrific experiments, Spiegel used his courage, compassion, and ingenuity to shield the most vulnerable — the sets of twins targeted for brutal medical experimentation. Mengele put Spiegel in charge of the young boys, but Spiegel used his position to protect and comfort the children, all of whom had been torn from their families and subjected to inhumane tests under the constant threat of extermination.

Through first-hand testimony and exclusive archival material, “The Last Twins” brings to life the voices of those who survived because of Spiegel’s defiance. It is a testament to resilience, sacrifice, and the power of one person to make a difference, even in humanity’s darkest hour.

The documentary is directed and produced by Emmy Award-winning directors Perri Peltz and Matthew O’Neill and is narrated by Tony Award-winning actor Liev Schreiber.

“The Last Twins” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Oct. 10-16. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday and Monday, Oct. 10, 11 and 13 at 3:30 p.m.; Sunday, Oct. 12 at 12:30 p.m.; and Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 15 and 16 at 6:30 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.

Sedona International Film Festival presents the Great Art on Screen series with “Frida: Vida La Vida” on Oct. 12 and 14 at the festival’s Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

Great Art on Screen is a series of documentaries featuring an in-depth look at the most extraordinary and groundbreaking art masters of their time.

“Frida: Viva La Vida” is a cinematic documentary event film that highlights the two sides of Frida Kahlo’s spirit: a revolutionary pioneering artist of contemporary feminism, and on the other, a human being tormented by agony and love.

With Asia Argento as narrator, the two faces of the artist will be revealed, by pursuing a common thread consisting of Frida’s own words: letters, diaries and private confessions. The documentary film event will alternate interviews with historical documents, captivating reconstructions, and Frida Kahlo’s own paintings, kept in some of the most amazing museums in Mexico.

The Great Art on Screen Series is generously sponsored by Goldenstein Gallery.

“Frida: Vida La Vida” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre on Sunday and Tuesday, Oct. 12 and 14 at 3:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 general admission, or $13 for Film Festival members.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the “Healthcare vs. Healing” film series at the Mary Fisher Theatre, kicking off on Monday, Oct. 13 with a special screening of “Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare” at 4:00 p.m.

Good health drives our quality of life, and we look to Western healthcare systems to support our wellness goals. The “Healthcare vs. Healing” film series explores the amazing discoveries, the challenges of our healthcare system, the promise of medical technologies and the ancient and intriguing alternatives to modern healthcare.

“Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare” examines one of the most pressing issues in the nation today. What can be done to fix our broken healthcare programs in the United States?

Filmmakers Susan Froemke and Matthew Heineman use personal stories and expert analysis to diagnose serious problems in the U.S. healthcare system. The film examines the powerful forces trying to maintain the status quo in a medical industry designed for quick fixes rather than prevention, for profit-driven care rather than patient-driven care.

“Escape Fire” follows dramatic human stories as well as leaders fighting to transform healthcare at the highest levels of medicine, industry, government, and even the US military. The film is about a way out, about saving the health of a nation.

“Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Monday, Oct. 13 at 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 general admission, or $9 for Film Festival members.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Bang Bang” showing Oct. 10-16 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

“Bang Bang” is a redemptive drama starring Tim Blake Nelson, Nina Arianda, Andrew Liner, Kevin Corrigan, Daniella Pineda and Glenn Plummer.

Back in his glory days, Bernard “Bang Bang” Rozyski (Tim Blake Nelson) was a beloved prizefighter boxer riding high on his success. These days he’s angry and closed off, living in his grungy house in a blue-collar Detroit neighborhood.

When Bang Bang’s estranged daughter unexpectedly drops her troublemaking teenage son off at his doorstep, it gives the bitter old man a chance at personal redemption as he trains the potential-laden kid in the ring.

While their training brings Bang Bang out of the hole he’s been living in, everyone questions his motivations, including an ex-girlfriend from decades ago who was privy to Bang Bang’s meteoric rise in the sport in the 80s. Is Bang Bang merely passing down inherited rage, or is there true altruism behind his tutelage?

Bang Bang is forced to confront everything he’s tried so hard to suppress.
