‘A Serious Man’ Film Screening
Date:
Thursday, August 6 2026
The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the ‘Living with Purpose: Why Are We Here?’ film series at the Mary Fisher Theatre—every Thursday in August. Every human wonders why they are here. There are those who believe we are born with a plan and that our lives, challenges, and relationships are meant to teach us lessons of compassion, perseverance, and patience. Others believe that life is a random occurrence without meaning. This series explores the meaning of life and our purpose here on earth. “A Serious Man” is the first film in the series on Thursday, Aug. 6, at 4:00 p.m. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Screenplay, and stars Richard Kind and Michael Stuhlbarg. “A Serious Man” (2009) is a dark comedy by the Coen Brothers. Set in 1967, it follows a mild-mannered Jewish physics professor. As his life inexplicably unravels—his wife demands a divorce, an anonymous caller tries to sabotage his academic tenure, and a student attempts blackmail—he desperately seeks answers from his faith, only to find the universe remains utterly indifferent. “A Serious Man” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Thursday, Aug. 6, at 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 general admission, 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.
