We invite you to volunteer at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park!

The duplex-style Riordan Mansion remains one of the finest examples of American Arts and Crafts-
style architecture open to the public today. Designed by the architect of the impressive El Tovar Hotel
at the Grand Canyon, Charles Whittlesey, the homes were built in 1904 with indoor plumbing, hot
and cold running water, central heat, and electric lights, reflecting the most modern technology and
design of the time.
Seen by guided tour only, the interiors of the Riordan family homes look essentially as they did in 1904.
The homes showcase original family belongings including fine examples of early Stickley furniture.

Volunteer opportunities available include Front Desk, Interpretive Tours, Grounds and Maintenance services.

Help us preserve history, learn and share the story of Flagstaff.

Contact the Park at 928-779-4395 for more information.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Jimmy & The Demons” showing April 17-23 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

For six decades, Jimmy Grashow's intricate woodcuts and fantastical sculptures have graced museums and galleries, iconic album covers and over a thousand publications. As Jimmy approaches 80, he is given the commission of a lifetime — The Cathedral — that proves to be both exhilarating and daunting.

As he obsessively carves his magnum opus, Jimmy searches for the meaning behind this profound and sacred piece to which he devotes every moment. But life is full of surprises and Jimmy is faced with a difficult decision. Navigating through the unexpected twists and turns with humor and trepidation, he experiences the true agony and ecstasy of being an artist.

“Jimmy & The Demons” is an unforgettable reminder that life can be a chaotic struggle, but the power of love, kindness and courage is undeniable.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Heads or Tails?” showing April 17-23 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

John C. Reilly stars as Buffalo Bill in “Heads or Tails?” — a surreal Italian Western film that blends frontier drama with Italian folklore.

At the dawn of the 20th century, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show rolls into Italy, peddling the myth of the American frontier and sparking the imagination of Rosa, a young woman trapped in a stifling marriage to a powerful and violent landowner.

When a rodeo between American cowboys and Italian butteri ends in tragedy, Rosa flees with Santino, the daring local rider who bested the Americans. But in a world where justice is sold to the highest bidder, Buffalo Bill and others join the hunt for the bounty on Santino's head. Rosa's dream of freedom quickly collides with the weight of reality — and like in every good Western ballad, fate flips a coin.

“Heads or Tails?” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre April 17-23. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 17, 18, 21 and 22 at 6:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Monday and Thursday, April 19, 20 and 23 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.

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.
