    Sedona AZ (December 15, 2016) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Sedona premiere of the critically-acclaimed audience sensation “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” showing Dec. 23-29 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” features an award-winning, all-star ensemble cast including Kristen Stewart, Chris Tucker, Garrett Hedlund, with Vin Diesel, Steve Martin and newcomer Joe Alwyn.

    Three-time Academy Award-winner Ang Lee brings his extraordinary vision to “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” — based on the widely-acclaimed, bestselling novel.  The film is told from the point of view of 19-year-old private Billy Lynn (newcomer Joe Alwyn) who, along with his fellow soldiers in Bravo Squad, becomes a hero after a harrowing Iraq battle and is brought home temporarily for a victory tour.

    Through flashbacks, culminating at the spectacular halftime show of the Thanksgiving Day football game, the film reveals what really happened to the squad — contrasting the realities of the war with America’s perceptions.

    Lee used new technology, shooting at an ultra-high frame rate for the first time in film history, to create an immersive digital experience helping him dramatize war in a way never seen before.

    Critics are raving about “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk”, calling it “a groundbreaking masterpiece” (ABC-TV) and “dazzling … a surreal experience” (Associated Press).

    “We’ve never seen a movie remotely like ‘Billy Lynn’ before.” — Los Angeles Times

    It Takes a Lifetime and Sometimes Even More

    By Amaya  Gayle

    Sedona, AZ — It takes a lifetime (perhaps lifetimes) of stretching and expanding, ripping and tearing, just to move through one’s predispositions, to meet one’s inbred resistance and evolve to the grace of simple tolerance. During this precious part of the journey, it feels like you are taking the steps, are choosing right, left or straight ahead, that you are in the game.
