'Pink Floyd at Pompeii' Worldwide Premiere

'Pink Floyd at Pompeii' Worldwide Premiere

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theaters around the world for a global theatrical event: “Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII” on April 24 and 27 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

“Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII” — the groundbreaking 1972 film directed by Adrian Maben — returns to theaters, now digitally re-mastered in 4K from the original 35mm footage with enhanced audio.

Set in the hauntingly beautiful ruins of the ancient Roman Amphitheater in Pompeii, Italy, the film captures Pink Floyd performing an intimate concert without an audience. Filmed in October 1971, the performance features unforgettable tracks such as “Echoes,” “A Saucerful of Secrets,” and “One of These Days.”

The breathtaking visuals of the amphitheater, captured both day and night, amplify the magic of the performance, creating a unique and immersive experience. Additionally, the film includes rare behind-the-scenes glimpses of the band working on The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios.

This meticulous restoration delivers stunning image and sound quality, featuring a theatrical and home entertainment mix from Steven Wilson in 5.1 and Dolby Atmos. These upgrades enhance the film's depth and clarity while preserving the authenticity and spirit of the original 1972 release.

Inspired by the golden warmth of Pompeii’s iconic setting, the remaster transforms this timeless piece into a masterpiece of sight and sound. Experience Pink Floyd like never before through this pioneering audio-visual remaster!

“Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Thursday, April 24 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, April 27 at 4:00 p.m.

Tickets are $15 general admission, or $13 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.
