The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Sedona premiere of “The Ballad of Wallis Island” showing May 9-15 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

He’s getting the band back together.

“The Ballad of Wallis Island” follows Charles (Tim Key), an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favorite musicians, Mortimer-McGwyer (Carey Mulligan and Tom Basden) back together.

His fantasy quickly turns into reality when the bandmates and former lovers accept his invitation to play a private show at his home on Wallis Island. Old tensions resurface as Charles tries desperately to salvage his dream gig.

Somehow, amiable Charles must find a way to manage a collection of strong personalities if he’s to witness his dream performance, while Herb slowly begins to realize that his happiness might depend on his willingness to reconnect with his past.
