You have seen TED Talks. But you have never experienced TED — the global phenomenon propelled by ideas that are transforming the world — until now. TED Cinema Experience will bring TED’s flagship event, TED2017: The Future You from Vancouver, Canada, to cinema audiences around the world in three big screen events.
The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present these events at its Mary D. Fisher Theatre the first three Tuesdays in May. The festival is branding these “TED Talk Tuesdays” and will feature each event at 7 p.m. The three events will include: TED Opening Night (May 2), TED Prize Event (May 9) and TED Highlights Exclusive (May 16). Audience members can purchase single event tickets or tickets for all three.
TED2017 Opening Event
Tuesday, May 2 at 7 p.m.
The Opening Event of TED2017 presents cinema audiences a one-of-a-kind opportunity to watch live with their communities as new TED Talks are presented for the first time in front of 1,500 TED attendees - who represent the world’s leading thinkers and doers in Vancouver, Canada. For the second consecutive year, cinema audiences will get this exclusive look inside the opening night of TED and experience approximately six to seven revelatory talks and performances as they unfold on the TED stage.
Featured Opening Event speakers include: Huang Yi (dancer and choreographer), Joshua Roman (Cellist), Anab Jain (futurist, designer), Laura Galante (cyberspace analyst), Titus Kaphar (artist), Garry Kasparov (grandmaster, analyst), Tim Ferriss (productivity guru, author), OK Go (band), and Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks (religious leader).
Awe. A sense of wonder. Life changing. Inspirational. All words used to describe the experience that is TED. Now TED Cinema Experience brings TED2017 to you.
TED2017 will explore the deepest scientific and psychological insights, the latest medical advances, and thrilling new inventions (all mixed with a dose of ancient wisdom), and will ask questions about our present and future selves that we often don’t have time for. The program will feature a succession of extraordinary speakers — risk-takers, visionaries, celebrities, and an emerging generation of idea creators — who will deliver the “talk of their lives” in TED’s world-famous TED Talk format.
Through the TED Cinema Experience series, we all have access to the TED experience, giving us the opportunity to have our curiosity sparked, minds opened, and worlds shifted — together through three community viewing events on cinema screens. See the world in new ways through your participation in TED Cinema Experience.
