The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Gardener” showing April 17-23 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres.

After the loss of her husband and father, Sabena Weathers (Radha Mitchell) fights to preserve her family’s cosmetics empire while facing a hostile takeover. Seeking refuge, she retreats to a remote mountaintop garden cottage, where a chance encounter with a simple gardener (William Miller) sparks a powerful journey of love, self-discovery and transformation.

Rooted in quiet mystery and emotional truth, “The Gardener,” explores loss, healing and the courage to realize one’s true self. It all begins in the garden; magically, metaphorically and serendipitously.

“The Gardener” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres April 17-23. Showtimes will be Friday, Sunday and Wednesday, April 17, 19 and 22 at 7:00 p.m.; Saturday, Monday and Thursday, April 18, 20 and 23 at 4:00 p.m.; and Tuesday, April 21 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.
