The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theaters around the world for a global theatrical premiere event: “Christina Aguilera: Christmas in Paris” showing Dec. 14 and 21 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

“Christina Aguilera: Christmas in Paris” — a dazzling live celebration marking the 25th anniversary of global superstar Christina Aguilera’s beloved holiday album My Kind of Christmas — culminates in an unforgettable visual spectacular; channeling fantasy, grandeur, and theatrical wonder.

Directed by Emmy Award-winning Sam Wrench (Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, Billie Eilish: Live at the O2) and shot in Paris before an intimate audience of 250 guests, “Christmas in Paris” transports viewers to a winter-garden terrace high above the Musée du Quai Branly. Against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower — fashioned into a shimmering Christmas tree — Aguilera delivers an immersive performance with the city skyline as both stage and witness.

As twilight deepens, she moves fluidly through holiday classics and career-defining hits, all captured in a sumptuous vintage-lens glow. Between songs, the film drifts into dreamlike Parisian interludes — where Christina contemplates love, motherhood, reinvention, and the artistry that has defined her journey.

Intercut with documentary scenes shot around Paris, the film will also contain moments from inside the legendary Crazy Horse, where Aguilera unleashes her boldest anthems in a cabaret sequence steeped in the decadence and glamour of Paris nightlife. The experience culminates beneath the tower’s sparkling lights in a snow-kissed finale that is cinematic, emotional – and as unmistakably bold as the artist herself.

This once-in-a-lifetime performance ignited by Christina’s voice, “Christmas in Paris” defies the conventions of a concert film — evolving into a dazzling holiday vision: classic, enchanting, and unforgettable.

“Christina Aguilera: Christmas in Paris” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Sunday, Dec. 14 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 21 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.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to partner with Theatrikos Theatre Company to bring movies to Downtown Flagstaff!

This series continues on Wednesday, Dec. 17 with the Flagstaff premiere of “Granite Rapids Moon” at 7:00 p.m. at Theatrikos Theatre Company.

The film’s writer/director Kenneth Cran and producer/actor John Charles Meyer will be here in person at Theatrikos to host the film and conduct a Q&A session after the screening.

A happily married father of two, shaken by a message written in a birthday card for his daughter, abruptly leaves his family for a week-long trek through the Grand Canyon. As we follow his solo hike, we see his memories of an earlier trip through the Grand Canyon with a different woman.

Shot with only the equipment that a cast and crew of eight could carry on two 41-mile hikes (one in 20-degree December and the other in 95-degree June), this family-friendly romantic drama is the first narrative feature to shoot the majority of its footage inside the rim of the Grand Canyon.

“Granite Rapids Moon” stars Brit Morgan, John Charles Meyer, Susan Papa, Etienne Eckert, Micah Cohen, KylieRae Condon and Missi Pyle. The film was written and directed by Kenneth Cran and produced by John Charles Meyer and Susan Papa.

“You cannot describe the experience of being in the Grand Canyon. You cannot; it's just that simple. Artists paint it, photographers photograph it, musicians create music inspired by it. And filmmakers have attempted to capture it cinematically. But to experience it, you have to be in it,” said writer/director Kenneth Cran.

“With ‘Granite Rapids Moon’, I hope some of those people who just make it to the rim and take a photo will see that the Grand Canyon is much more than a photo op; it's a place of epic sublimity that has changed and shaped people and their own stories.”

“Granite Rapids Moon” will show at Theatrikos Theatre Company on Wednesday, Dec. 17 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 general admission and $9 for Film Festival members.

For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Tickets can also be ordered in advance online at www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.

Theatrikos Theatre Company is located at 11 W. Cherry Ave. in Downtown Flagstaff.

This series and collaboration is made possible by a generous grant from Arizona Community Foundation of Flagstaff.
