'Michelangelo: Love and Death' Exhibition on Screen

'Michelangelo: Love and Death' Exhibition on Screen

Sedona International Film Festival presents the Exhibition on Screen series with “Michelangelo: Love and Death”. The film returns to Sedona on Tuesday and Sunday, May 20 and 25 at the festival’s Alice Gill-Sheldon Sheldon Theatre.

The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this Renaissance giant? Michelangelo’s genius is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David, the moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, still leave us breathless today.

Spanning his 88 years, Michelangelo - Love and Death takes a cinematic journey through the print and drawing rooms of Europe through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican to seek out a deeper understanding of this legendary figure’s tempestuous life, his relationship with his contemporaries and his incredible legacy.

Through expert commentary, stunning visuals and Michelangelo’s own words, this film takes a fresh look at a master artist whose life and genius are celebrated in every mark he made. Returning to cinemas in 2025 to celebrate this iconic artist’s 550th birthday.

Sculptor, painter, architect, poet, genius - discover why Michelangelo is without a doubt one of the greatest artists of all time.

The Exhibition on Screen Series is generously sponsored by Goldenstein Gallery.

“Michelangelo: Love and Death” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre on Wednesday and Sunday, May 20 and 25 at 3:30 p.m.
