‘Ghost Elephants’ Film Premiere

Next Upcoming Date: Saturday, March 21 2026

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Ghost Elephants," showing March 21-26 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres. Directed, narrated, and written by legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog, “Ghost Elephants” is a lyrical tale of survival, reconnection, and the enduring power of ancient knowledge in the face of modern loss. In the mist-covered highlands of Angola, deep within its forests, a mystery endures: the elusive ghost elephants of Lisima, the potential living descendants of the largest land mammal ever recorded. Steve Boyes, conservation biologist and leader of the National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project, is determined to prove their existence. In order to find these elusive elephants, Boyes and fellow National Geographic Explorer Kerllen Costa have teamed up with three KhoiSan master trackers: Xui, Xui Dawid, and Kobus. Refugees from a war-torn past who have faced considerable marginalization in southern Africa, the trackers return to their ancestral lands to succeed where advanced technology could not. “Ghost Elephants” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres March 21-26. Showtimes will be Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, March 21, 22, and 23, at 6:30 p.m.; Tuesday, March 24, at 7:00 p.m.; and Wednesday and Thursday, March 25 and 26, at 3:30 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. Click here for more information.
