Sedona International Film Festival presents the Great Art on Screen series with “Lotto and Berenson: Crossed Destinies” on Aug. 17 and 19 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.

“Lotto and Berenson: Crossed Destinies” follows the intertwined journeys of Lorenzo Lotto, a forgotten Renaissance master, and Bernard Berenson, the American Jewish art critic who resurrected his legacy.

Through the eyes of actor Alessandro Sperduti, the film retraces Lotto's artistic path across Italy, uncovering the painter's personal and professional struggles. At the same time, it explores Berenson's fascination with Lotto’s ability to capture the human soul, creating a profound reflection on art, ambition, and the fear of being forgotten.

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

“Lotto and Berenson: Crossed Destinies” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre on Sunday and Tuesday, Aug. 17 and 19 at 3:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 general admission, or $13 for Film Festival members. Tickets are available in advance at the Sedona International Film Festival office or by calling 928-282-1177 or online at www.SedonaFilmFestival.org. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona.
