Say ‘what’ one more time at ‘Pulp Fiction’s return to Sedona

The Sedona International Film Festival is turning 25 this year, and to celebrate, it is rolling back the clock and bringing encore screenings of hit films from 25 years ago to the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on the 25th of each month. Also for these events, SIFF is rolling back tickets to the admission price from 25 years ago: $4.25 each.

This yearlong celebration continues with the anniversary screening of “Pulp Fiction” on Wednesday, July 25, at 4 and 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

“This is our way of celebrating our 25th anniversary season all year long and a way for us to say ‘thank you’ to this community for supporting our festival for 25 years,” said Executive Director Patrick Schweiss.

“Pulp Fiction” was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director [Quentin Tarantino], Best Actor [John Travolta], Best Supporting Actor [Samuel L. Jackson], Best Supporting Actress [Uma Thurman], Best Screenplay and Best Film Editing. It won the Oscar for Best Screenplay.

The lives of two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster’s wife and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption in “Pulp Fiction.” 

Jules Winnfield [Jackson] and Vincent Vega [Travolta] are two hit men who are out to retrieve a suitcase stolen from their employer, mob boss Marsellus Wallace [Ving Rhames]. Wallace has also asked Vincent to take his wife Mia [Thurman] out a few days later when Wallace himself will be out of town.

Butch Coolidge [Bruce Willis] is an aging boxer who is paid by Wallace to lose his fight. The lives of these seemingly unrelated people are woven together comprising of a series of funny, bizarre and uncalled-for incidents.

“Pulp Fiction” — the 25th anniversary celebration — will show at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Wednesday, July 25, at 4 and 7 p.m. Tickets are rolled back to the price of 25 years ago at $4.25 each.
