‘The Secret Agent’ Film Premiere

Next Upcoming Date: Friday, March 13 2026

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Sedona premiere of “The Secret Agent," showing March 13-19 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre. “The Secret Agent” is nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Motion Picture of the Year, Best International Feature Film, Best Actor in a Leading Role (Wagner Moura), and Best Casting. Amid the raucous revelry of Carnival week, a widower named Marcelo (Wagner Moura) arrives in 1977 in Recife, Brazil, a city as vibrant as it is violent. A technology researcher who suddenly finds himself an unwitting target in the heart of the dictatorship's political maelstrom, Marcelo is a man on the run from mercenary killers, from ghosts of the past and from the ruthless, mischievously militant spirit of Brazil in 1977. In the midst of these mounting threats, Marcelo, with the help of a mysterious woman named Elza and her compatriots in the country's growing underground resistance, remains primarily focused on escaping Brazil with his young son. Master filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho teams up with renowned actor Wagner Moura—giving an extraordinary, career-defining performance—to craft a thrillingly unpredictable, playfully shape-shifting epic steeped in history even as it feels remarkably contemporary, paying affectionate tribute to the movies of Filho’s youth while unfolding against the backdrop of political turmoil and palpable danger. “The Secret Agent” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre March 13-19. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, March 13, 14, and 15 at 3:00 p.m.; and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, March 16, 17, 18, and 19 at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members.
