The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Sedona premiere of “Eddington” showing Aug. 15-21 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres.

“Eddington” is an American neo-Western satirical black comedy film written and directed by Ari Aster, and featuring an award-winning ensemble cast, including Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Micheal Ward, Austin Butler, and Emma Stone.

In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico.

The film examines the political and social turmoil caused by the contested mayoral election fought between Sheriff Joe Cross and Mayor Ted Garcia.
