Spacewoman

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Spacewoman” showing April 10-16 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon and Mary D. Fisher Theatres. “Spacewoman” is the extraordinary journey of Astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command an American spacecraft — the Space Shuttle. Born on the other side of the tracks in upstate New York, she smashed many glass ceilings in the US Air Force and at NASA in her career, culminating in four increasingly dramatic and dangerous space shuttle missions. With an incredible set of archival materials, intimate interviews, and a moving score by Marcelo Zarvos, Hannah Berryman’s nail-biting film shares the emotional journey experienced by Eileen’s family and explores what level of risk is acceptable in human endeavor. “It reminds us that no dream remains impossible.” — Dr. Ruth Gotian, Forbes “A testament to human perseverance, curiosity and courage.” — Andrew Glester, Physics World “Spacewoman” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon and Mary D.
