The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to partner with Old Town Center for the Arts (OTCA) to bring movies to Cottonwood!
“Monday Movies on Main” continues on Monday, Oct. 24 with the Cottonwood premiere of “Chicago: The Last Band on Stage” at 7 p.m. at Old Town Center for the Arts.
“Chicago: The Last Band on Stage” tells the unbelievable story of how the band Chicago has lasted 55 years without stopping recording and without missing a year of touring … and they’re still going strong. Narrated by Joe Mantegna, the film mainly follows how Chicago dealt with COVID-19, and how the only thing that could stop the band from touring was a worldwide pandemic that stopped everybody.
Incredibly, Chicago was literally the last band on stage before the worldwide shutdowns began.
The film also chronicles the recording of their new album as well as the song “Goodbye”. The creation and recording of the song leads to the band’s realization that while they have no intentions of stopping, they will eventually have to. The song has universally understood themes of changes and goodbyes while also speaking personally to the band about the ultimate truth that is “nothing lasts forever.”
“Chicago: The Last Band on Stage” is a celebration of the American musical institution known as Chicago, featuring candid interviews and footage that show the band in their humanity and musical genius that has inspired millions for over half a century.
This special Cottonwood screening will include a Q&A with a special guest following the film.
Old Town Center for the Arts is located at 633 N. 5th Street (just off Main) in Cottonwood.
