A quarter of a century ago, The Sedona International Film Festival began as a 3-day exhibition of independent films that has grown into the world-renowned event that it is considered to be today. A crown jewel of Sedona’s cultural life and the largest single event in the community, it has brought thought-provoking ideas and challenging cinematic art to its ever-growing audience. The arthouse theater venue, The Mary D. Fisher Theatre, owned (and operated) by the festival, now offers daily programs throughout the year including at least two new independent films each week.
