    Acclaimed epic drama by Terrence Malick premieres at Fisher Theatre

    Sedona Internatonal Film FestivalSedona AZ (January 14, 2020) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Sedona premiere of the critically-acclaimed new epic drama “A Hidden Life” Jan. 24-30 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    Based on real events, from writer-director Terrence Malick, “A Hidden Life” is the story of an unsung hero, Franz Jägerstätter, who refused to fight for the Nazis in World War II. When the Austrian peasant farmer is faced with the threat of execution for treason, it is his unwavering faith and his love for his wife Fani and children that keep his spirit alive.

    The relationship between Franz and his wife Fani endures. The film portrays their bond as deeply as Franz’s devotion to his cause. At every turn Fani is there for Franz — strong, unfaltering and supportive of his path while raising their daughters and running the farm alone.

    Malick’s film draws on actual letters exchanged between Franz and Fani while Jägerstätter was in prison. The story was little known outside of St. Radegund, and might never have been discovered, were it not for the research of Gordon Zahn, an American who visited the village in the 1970s.

    “A Hidden Life” is an extraordinary, enduring love story that investigates human reactions and motivations and just how far people will push for their beliefs and conscience. Ultimately, it is a timeless story of devotion, love and forgiveness writ large.

    Written and Directed by Terrence Malick, the film stars August Diehl, Valerie Pachner, Maria Simon, Tobias Moretti, Bruno Ganz, Matthias Schoenaerts, Karin Neuhäuser and Ulrich Matthes.

    “Cinema at its mightiest and holiest. A movie you enter, like a cathedral of the senses.” – Owen Gleiberman, Variety

    “An extraordinarily beautiful, intensely romantic work of art. This movie would speak forcefully in any language.” – Justin Change, Los Angeles Times

    “A Hidden Life” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Jan. 24-30. Showtimes will be 3 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Monday, Jan. 24, 25 and 27; and 7 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 29 and 30.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
