Description

ENCORE BY POPULAR DEMAND!

Featuring the full-length version of the film!


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


This series continues on Wednesday, Feb. 12 with encore of “Into the Canyon” at 7:00 p.m. at Theatrikos Theatre Company.


The film is returning by popular demand after a sold-out show in January. This evening will feature the full-length version of the film.


In 2016 filmmaker/photographer Pete McBride and writer Kevin Fedarko set out on a 750-mile journey on foot through the entire length of the Grand Canyon. From the outset, the challenge was far more than they bargained for. More people have stood on the moon than have completed a continuous through hike of the Canyon.


McBride and Fedarko took a sectional approach, achieving a feat that many adventurers have taken decades to complete. Others have lost their lives trying. But their quest was more than just an endurance test – it was also a way to draw attention to the unprecedented threats facing one of our most revered landscapes.


 
Throughout their passage, McBride and Fedarko encountered an astonishingly diverse and powerful landscape, rich in history, that is now facing perhaps the gravest crisis in the 100-year history of the Grand Canyon National Park. The threat is made stark when they encounter an organization of Navajo women fighting a billion-dollar proposed tram project to be built on sacred ground.


 
Directed by Pete McBride and produced by the award-winning team at Insignia Films, “Into the Canyon” is a story of extreme physical hardship that stretches the bonds of friendship and a meditation on the timeless beauty of this sacred place. It is an urgent warning about the environmental dangers that are placing one of America’s greatest monuments in peril and a cautionary tale for our complex relationship with the natural world.



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