Driven by optimism and guided by caution, the Sedona International Film Festival is ramping up preparations for the scaled down 27th annual event now scheduled June 12-20.
Subscribe Everything related to the coronavirus pandemic is moving in the right direction and we re seeing more people returning to the types of activities, though still on a limited basis, that we all considered normal before COVID-19 became part of our lexicon, said Executive Director Pat Schweiss. We certainly made the right decision to postpone and we re excited about new opportunities and features we can incorporate into the Festival because the weather will be perfect. We re also adding a virtual component for film lovers who would prefer to watch films from the comfort of their homes.

This year is different as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Schweiss and the SIFF executive board agreed in December that the best decision was to move the festival from the original dates of Feb. 20 to 28 to now being held June 12 to 20.

Dennis Dearden was the first to roll up his sleeve and was happy to do so.
Dearden, superintendent of the Sedona-Oak Creek School District, was one of dozens of administrators, teachers, staff and substitute teachers who received the COVID-19 vaccination on Wednesday, Jan. 13, at the Sedona Performing Arts Center.
“We’ve been in school since Aug. 24 and we’ve tried to come up with a mitigation plan to keep our staff and students safe and today is just another step in that direction,” he said. “We value and appreciate the opportunity for our staff to get vaccinated today. It’s certainly a step in the right direction.
