Sedona Film Festival presents ‘Mountains of the Moon’ premiere Dec. 26-30
Connections between sport, life music and earth set to tunes of the Grateful Dead
The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Mountains of the Moon” showing Dec. 26-30 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.
In “Mountains of the Moon”, world renowned artist and skier, Chris Benchetler explores the unseen connections between sport, life, music, and the living earth — set to the timeless tunes of the Grateful Dead.
Captured almost entirely at night using cutting-edge cinematography, lasers, animation, and projection mapping, the film leads viewers on a surreal journey through ocean, river, and mountain landscapes. The world’s greatest athletes, adventurers, and thinkers appear as luminous figures, navigating through the natural world.
At its core, the film reflects on what makes us human. The glowing skeletons represent the essential truth of our existence, the light within us all no matter our external differences. Through their journey, the film reflects on life and death, the resilience of nature, and the threads of humanity that bind us together.
“Mountains of the Moon” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Dec. 26-30. Showtimes will be Friday and Saturday, Dec. 26 and 27 at 3:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 28, 29 and 30 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.
