The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to partner with Unify Sedona and PFLAG special event in observation of Transgender Day of Remembrance on Wednesday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

Transgender Day of Remembrance is an opportunity for our community to come together and remember those who have lost their lives to violence and injustice because of their gender identity or gender expression.

Violence against transgender people is still increasing. Join us to learn and create a more inclusive world for all. Invocation will be offered by Rev. Dr. Elizabeth LeMaster.

Unify Sedona … a Rainbow Alliance and PFLAG of Sedona and the Verde Valley will present a panel followed by a Q&A session, led by Jen Emmerich, LCSW, ACSW, specialist in Transgender/Gender Equity. The panelists — J.J. O’Brien, Brianna R., Christine V. and Deanna O. — identify as transgender and/or non-binary individuals and will provide real life information as they share their life experiences.

A slide presentation that includes photos and short bios of those lost to violence in 2024 will be shown as names are read. We will walk out of the theatre in silent candlelight as we exit the evening.

Transgender Day of Remembrance will take place at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Wednesday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members.
