The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Musicians” showing Aug. 15-21 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

A charming, music-centered comedy, “The Musicians” features a talented cast of real musicians that is sure to delight and entertain.

Astrid Thompson finally succeeds in fulfilling her father's dream of bringing together four Stradivarius instruments for a unique concert eagerly awaited by music lovers the world over. But Lise, George, Peter and Apolline — the four virtuosos recruited for the occasion — are unable to play together.

Rehearsal after rehearsal leads to one ego crisis after another. With no solution in sight, Astrid decides to seek out the only person who, in her eyes, can still save the event: Charlie Beaumont, the composer of the score.

“The Musicians” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Aug. 15-21. Showtimes will be Friday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 15, 17, 18 and 19 at 6:30 p.m.; Saturday, Aug. 16 at 12:30 p.m.; and Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 20 and 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.

Arizona artist Daniel Mayer will share insights into his interdisciplinary studio work with exploratory and creative processes in artist’s books, experimental printmaking, collaborations, and gateway public art. Mayer’s ongoing series FieldStudies responds to purpose and place, collecting, archiving, and inquiry. Altered topo maps with atmospheric rivers are captured in reductive charcoal drawings, shaped letterpress text represents mud cracks, and surface-oriented relief printmaking mirrors landforms. In Mayer’s gateway public art, the natural world is integrated for a sense of calm and reflection. Real, imagined and invented perceptions are variable constructs in Mayer’s studio explorations.
