The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Girl With the Needle”, showing Jan. 10-16 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

“The Girl With the Needle” is nominated the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture (Non-English Language) and is shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best International Film.

Karoline, a young factory worker, is struggling to survive in post WW1 Copenhagen. When she finds herself unemployed, abandoned and pregnant, she meets Dagmar, a charismatic woman running an underground adoption agency, helping mothers to find foster homes for their unwanted children.

With nowhere else to turn, Karoline takes on the role of a wet-nurse. A strong connection is formed between the two women, but Karoline’s world shatters when she stumbles upon the shocking truth behind her work.

Inspired by a true story and directed by Magnus von Horn, “The Girl With the Needle” is an unsettling tale about a woman struggling to find love and a sense of morality.

“The Girl With the Needle” will be shown at Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Jan. 10-16. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Jan. 10, 11, 12 and 13 at 6:30 p.m; and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 14, 15 and 16 at 3:30 p.m.
