The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Last Class” showing July 11-17 at Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

“The Last Class” is a nuanced and deeply personal portrait of master educator Robert Reich teaching his final course and reflecting on a period of immense transformation, personally and globally. It is a love letter to education.

The former Secretary of Labor might be famous for his public service, best-selling books, and viral social media posts, but he always considered teaching his true calling. Now, after over 40 years and an extraordinary 40,000 students, Reich is preparing for his last class.

Over the course of the film, Reich confronts the impending finality, and his own aging, with increasing candor, introspection, and, ultimately, emotion. He displays a rawness of feeling he has never shared publicly before. Drawing on his lifetime in politics, he uses his class, “Wealth and Poverty,” to offer us all a deeper look at why inequalities of income and wealth have widened significantly since the late 1970s, and why this poses dangerous risks to our society.

One thousand students fill the biggest lecture hall on the UC Berkeley campus, the last class to receive Reich’s wisdom and exhortations not to accept that the world has to stay the way it is. His belief in the next generation’s ability to take on the fight is inspiring.

“The Last Class” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre July 11-17. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday and Thursday, July 11, 12 and 17 at 6:30 p.m.; and Monday and Tuesday, July 14 and 15 at 3:30 p.m.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore” showing July 11-17 at Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres.

In 1987, at the age of just 21, Marlee Matlin shattered expectations as the first Deaf actor to win an Academy Award for her groundbreaking performance in “Children of a Lesser God”.

Catapulted into the spotlight, she seized the moment to challenge an industry unprepared for her immense talent, emerging as a trailblazer not only as a performer but also as an author and activist. Matlin's incredible journey continued with standout roles in acclaimed projects such as “The West Wing” and the Oscar-winning “CODA”, all while relentlessly advocating for greater inclusion and accessibility both within Hollywood and beyond its borders.

Directed by Shoshannah Stern, the film offers an unflinching look at Matlin’s remarkable life through the lens of her primary language, American Sign Language. Matlin opens up about her personal and professional struggles — her meteoric rise to fame, the challenges of navigating a predominantly hearing industry, the pain of a tumultuous high-profile relationship, getting sober and years of being overlooked by Hollywood —alongside her many triumphs.

“Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore” reimagines traditional documentary storytelling, elevating ASL as the film’s heart and soul while removing conventional voiceovers, creating an authentic and visually immersive experience. Through split-screen interviews with both Deaf and hearing contributors, the film weaves a poignant and inspiring narrative of Matlin’s legendary career, highlighting her tireless fight for inclusion and representation in an entertainment world that at first had no place for her.

“Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres July 11-17. Showtimes will be Friday and Tuesday, July 11 and 15 at 7:00 p.m.; Saturday, Wednesday and Thursday, July 12, 16 and 17 at 3:30 p.m.; Sunday, July 13 at 6:30 p.m.; and Monday, July 14 at 4:00 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.
