The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Sedona premiere of “The Secret Agent” showing March 13-19 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

“The Secret Agent” is nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Motion Picture of the Year, Best International Feature Film, Best Actor in a Leading Role (Wagner Moura) and Best Casting.

Amid the raucous revelry of Carnival week, a widower named Marcelo (Wagner Moura) arrives in 1977 in Recife, Brazil, a city as vibrant as it is violent. A technology researcher who suddenly finds himself an unwitting target in the heart of the dictatorship's political maelstrom, Marcelo is a man on the run from mercenary killers, from ghosts of the past and from the ruthless, mischievously militant spirit of Brazil in 1977.

In the midst of these mounting threats, Marcelo, with the help of a mysterious woman named Elza and her compatriots in the country's growing underground resistance, remains primarily focused on escaping Brazil with his young son.

Master filmmaker Kleber Mendonca Filho teams up with renowned actor Wagner Moura — giving an extraordinary, career-defining performance — to craft a thrillingly unpredictable, playfully shape-shifting epic steeped in history even as it feels remarkably contemporary, paying affectionate tribute to the movies of Filho’s youth while unfolding against the backdrop of political turmoil and palpable danger.

“The Secret Agent” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre March 13-19. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 13, 14 and 15 at 3:00 p.m.; and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, March 16, 17, 18 and 19 at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are $12, or $9 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 present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Four Rational People” showing March 13-19 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

After nearly 50 years of making music together, the Emerson String Quartet plays its final notes. An intimate and timeless tour film.

Goethe once said that a string quartet is like “a conversation between four rational people”, and for the members of the Emerson String Quartet, that conversation is coming to a bittersweet ending as they embark on their final season of a fifty-year history that includes 9 Grammy Awards and thousands of concerts.

Interweaving vivid memories of the Emerson Quartet’s past with delicate observations of life on the road in the weeks and days before disbanding, “Four Rational People” explores the group’s difficult decision to walk away from the things that they cherish most in life: the music they play and the friends they hold dear.

A frank examination of the tyranny of aging and a passing of the torch to a new generation of artists, “Four Rational People” culminates with one final Emerson Quartet performance for the ages, leaving all to ponder what happens to us after the final curtain.

“Four Rational People” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre March 13-19. Showtimes will be Friday, Sunday and Monday, March 13, 15 and 16 at 4:00 p.m.; Tuesday, March 17 at 3:00 p.m.; and Wednesday and Thursday, March 18 and 19 at 7:00 p.m.

Tickets are $12, or $9 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 present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Shepherd and the Bear” showing March 13-18 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

Set high in the majestic French Pyrenees, “The Shepherd and The Bear” explores a conflict provoked by the reintroduction of brown bears in the midst of a traditional shepherding community.

The film follows an ageing shepherd who struggles to find a successor as bears prey on his flock, and a teenage boy who becomes obsessed with tracking the bears.

Through its breathtaking cinematography and immersive storytelling, “The Shepherd and The Bear” is a modern folktale about tradition, community and humanity’s relationship with a vanishing natural world.

“Unforgettable.” — Deadline

“An immersive, lyrical ode to both nature and to those bewitched by it.” — Time Out

“A visual and sonic record of a land torn by an existential divide … breathtaking.” — Gazettely

Believing his lover, Jennifer (Academy Award-winner Jessica Chastain), a socialite and philanthropist, will support him, he leaves everything behind — narrowly escaping death in the process.
