The Sedona Heritage Museum in Sedona, Arizona, is gearing up for its annual summer fundraiser [5c9b2288]. The event, titled 'Blood on the Moon,' will feature a screening of a classic Western film shot in the Sedona area during the Golden Age of Hollywood [5c9b2288]. The film, released in 1948, stars Robert Mitchum as a drifter cowboy caught in a conflict between his friend and a group of homesteaders [5c9b2288]. It is known for its film noir elements, including double-crosses, government corruption, and romantic betrayals [5c9b2288].
The fundraiser will take place on Saturday, July 27, at 3 p.m. at the Sedona Heritage Museum [5c9b2288]. Before the screening, there will be a discussion about the film's background and stories from behind the scenes [5c9b2288]. In addition to the fundraiser, the museum will also host a free movie night featuring the 1950 Western film 'Broken Arrow' at the Posse Grounds Pavilion on Friday, June 28 [5c9b2288]. The movie night will start at 7:15 p.m. [5c9b2288].
Meanwhile, the Sedona International Film Festival is presenting the Northern Arizona premiere of 'America's Burning' from July 20-25 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre [2c1330a7]. The film, narrated by Michael Douglas, explores the reasons for today's hate and division in America and the rising risk of civil war [2c1330a7]. It features an impressive collection of thinkers and strategists, including James Carville, Amy Chua, Ian Bremmer, and Leon Panetta [2c1330a7]. The film highlights the shrinking middle class, the lack of social mobility, and the growing divide between the wealthy and the working class [2c1330a7]. Despite its ominous title, the film also emphasizes America's history of resilience and suggests that our best days could still lie ahead [2c1330a7]. Showtimes for 'America's Burning' are scheduled for July 20, 22, 23, and 24 at 6:30 p.m., and July 22 and 25 at 3:30 p.m. [2c1330a7]. Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members [2c1330a7].
